- Root-cause analysis
- Patch deployed to your branch
- Regression test added
Services
Specialised Rails help.
Each service is a clear scope and a fixed deliverable. No open-ended retainers. No "let's discover the requirements".
Rails & Ruby upgrades
Rails 4 to 7. Ruby 2.7 to 3.3. The upgrade your team keeps postponing because deprecation warnings make it scary.
- Incremental upgrade plan
- Gem audit & replacement
- CI green before merge
Deployment & infrastructure
Heroku to Render/Fly. Docker. Kamal to a VPS. The infrastructure story for a Rails app that needs to actually run.
- Zero-downtime deploys
- CI/CD pipeline
- Backups and recovery
SAML & SSO integration
The auth thing your enterprise customer is asking for. Okta, Google Workspace, Azure AD, custom IdPs.
- SAML SP wired into Devise / your auth layer
- Test against your customer's IdP
- Documentation for ops
Stripe & billing
Subscriptions, metered usage, webhooks, dunning, tax. The integration nobody on the team wants to own.
- Idempotent webhook handlers
- Subscription state model
- Test mode → live cutover
AWS & cloud infra
RDS, S3, ECS, CloudFront, SES. Cut your bill. Set up monitoring before the disaster, not after.
