Let’s talk about your Rails project
How can we help?
Ruby on Rails Web Development
Our team of experienced web developers are experts in Ruby on Rails. We love Rails because we can create full-featured, highly functional web apps in less time while you can be confident in product quality and maintenance costs.
Code Audit
Scaling an application or taking over a new codebase doesn’t have to feel unmanageable. We can help you understand the current state of your code quality, opportunities for optimization, guidance toward strengthening your foundation, process, and people, and learning how best to upgrade your current system.
Support and Maintenance
After launching your web app, maintaining it is crucial. Lacking dedicated support can lead to bugs, outdated systems, and costly security concerns. thoughtbot is here to help and has a part-time support and maintenance team dedicated to supporting applications long-term.
Rails Upgrades
As your business evolves, you will need to upgrade to new Ruby and Rails versions that support updated functionalities for your app. You also want to upgrade to ensure that external code or resources such as gems and other third-party libraries, open source libraries, and third party integrations continue working properly. We are always on hand to help.
Team Augmentation
Sometimes the demands of your product roadmap require additional senior designers and developers, and fast. Deploy a small, agile team of thoughtbot product experts to join your existing team and accelerate your product.
Level up your junior team
We believe there is always a better way to do our work, and we want to share it with your existing team and project. As we work together, we’ll help level up your team so they can continue with best practices long after we’re gone.
Rails Experts
Create a strong foundation with the team that wrote the book on Rails

Whether you’re looking to create an innovative e-commerce experience or expand on an existing enterprise SaaS platform, we’ll set you up for scalability and a codebase your future dev team will love working on.
“It's not typical to find an agency that will not only contribute directly to a Ruby on Rails codebase, but will improve the health of the application with each additional pull request.
Lead Web Developer

Do you feel like technical debt is holding you back? Is your codebase a mess that makes it difficult and time-consuming to ship new features? thoughtbot can help clean up the mess while working with your team to establish best practices that make future development frustration-free.
Upgrading Rails can be scary, but we're here to help
