SOUND FAMILIAR?

Your Rails app works, but nobody is looking after it.

Gems are outdated and security patches keep piling up.
The app runs on an old Rails or Ruby version you are afraid to touch.
Upgrades wait until something breaks.
Deploys are manual, risky, or only one person knows how.
Small changes break unrelated parts of the app.
Problems surface when users report them, not before.

WHY CHOOSE STACKWORX

Rails is what we have shipped for 10+ years

Maintenance keeps a Rails app safe to change. The same team keeps it current, watches production, and ships new work on top of a codebase it understands.

Understand before changing

We read the code, map the data model and integrations, and document how the app actually works before we change anything in production.

Upgrades inside maintenance

Old Rails and Ruby versions get upgraded in steps, with tests added around the risky parts, so the app keeps running while it moves forward.

Long-term ownership

We stay on as the team that maintains, monitors, and extends the app, the way we do with long-term partners like Zentap.

Incident response

Production problems investigated and fixed, including the ones caused by an external API or a hosting change.

Small fixes & hardening

Bugs, flaky tests, missing database constraints, and fragile deploys fixed and kept fixed.

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

What does Ruby on Rails maintenance and support include?

Security and dependency patching, Ruby and Rails upgrades on a schedule, monitoring and incident response, small fixes, and a written record of what changed and what is coming. New features, redesigns, and large integrations are scoped separately.

What is a Rails maintenance retainer?

A set amount of engineering time each month for maintenance work: patches, upgrades, monitoring, and small fixes. It works well when the app is critical and you want steady progress on upgrades and patches. Agree the scope, the capacity, and the response expectations in writing first.

Can you maintain a Rails app another team built?

Yes. Before changing anything in production we read the code, map the data model and integrations, and document how the app actually works. If the original developer has left, our Rails app takeover work covers the handover.

Why should upgrades be part of maintenance?

Each Rails release series gets security fixes for a limited time. Once your version is out of support, new vulnerabilities are your problem to patch, so upgrades belong inside maintenance, not in a separate project scheduled when something breaks.

Do you also build new features?

Yes. Rails maintenance and support plus new features from the same team that knows the code, the way we do with long-term partners like Zentap, a Rails platform serving 20,000+ real estate agents.
