Rails upgrade services
Upgrade your Rails app without breaking it.
Stuck on an old version of Rails? I upgrade existing Ruby on Rails applications and test them thoroughly, so every feature your users rely on still works afterwards. 8+ years of Rails, Upwork Top Rated Plus.
Why it matters
Security fixes
Older Rails versions stop receiving security patches. Staying current keeps your app and your users' data protected.
Gem & Ruby compatibility
Gems and Ruby versions move on. An outdated framework makes every new dependency, integration and hire harder.
Faster, easier development
Newer Rails brings better tooling and defaults, so your team ships features instead of fighting the framework.
Scope
What's included
Every upgrade is scoped to your app, but these are the parts that make it safe.
- Review of the codebase, Ruby version and gem dependencies
- A step-by-step upgrade plan, one version at a time
- Gem updates and deprecation fixes along the way
- Tests around critical flows where coverage is thin
- Verification that every existing feature still works
- Refactoring and CI/CD improvements where they help
- Deployment support, including Heroku
- Handover notes on what changed and why

Ship to production, confirm everything works, and walk you through the changes.
