Legacy Ruby on Rails project support
An old project with no documentation, no tests and no original developers does not have to be rewritten from scratch. We study the code, make it stable and improve it piece by piece without taking the site down.
What we deal with
- Old Ruby and Rails versions that no longer get security updates.
- Code without tests, where any change can break something.
- Projects with no documentation and nobody who remembers how it works.
- Slow pages, outages and accumulated workarounds.
Our process
- Review: we read the code and infrastructure and record how the project works today.
- Stabilization: we fix what is critical and set up monitoring and backups.
- Tests: we cover the most important scenarios so the code can be changed safely.
- Refactoring: we improve the project in parts while it keeps running.
The result
A project that is understood, predictable and ready to grow instead of running on luck. If you later need to upgrade Rails or move the system to another stack, we can do that too.
FAQ
Is it better to rewrite or to maintain the old project?
It depends on the state of the code and your business goals. After the review we tell you honestly where maintenance pays off and where a gradual rewrite makes sense.
Do you need documentation to begin?
No. We start from the code and the server and write the project description ourselves.
Does the site keep working during changes?
Yes. Changes go in small steps, are checked by tests and are deployed without stopping the site.
