Ruby on Rails Support & Maintenance
Get your project back on track with Ruby on Rails specialists who can maintain, improve and extend your application.
Hands-on support and maintenance
Sometimes, developers fall through, move on, or ambitions don't align anymore.
However it's come about, our retainer service provides regular upgrades, bug fixes, backlog clearing, technical support and more.
Advice, rescue, and recovery
Is your project broken, unfinished, behind schedule, suffering from sub-par quality code, or needing an overhaul?
Utilise our expert team as an 'outsourced CTO' instead of growing your engineering team.
Upgrade, improve and build
Want to do more than keep the lights on? We can help you breathe new life into your Rails application.
Hit the buffers or fallen behind, your app no longer does what you need. We can incrementally improve or substantially expand your Ruby on Rails application to meet your growing needs.
Does this sound like you?
Clients often come to us saying things like...
-
Slow Site
"Our app is slow and sluggish, our customers and business are suffering. We need to optimise it and improve performance."
-
Out of Date
"We rely on our app but don't have in-house staff with the technical expertise to maintain and improve it."
-
Big Backlog
"Requests for new features and functionality are piling up. We can't keep ignoring them if we want to grow."
-
Security Issues
"Our app is dated and has security and compliance issues. We rely upon it for our business, what can we do?"
-
Trapped
"Our current developer makes everything hard. Availability, timelines, communication, pricing. It's all frustrating."
-
Limbo
"We're no longer working with the agency or developer that built our app we need someone with expertise to takeover."
Our proven 4-step handover process gets us swiftly up to speed with your codebase and objectives.
Discovery workshop
We'll facilitate a half-day discovery session to collect details about your app and it's technology stack.
After assessing your situation, we'll follow up with a free action plan with proposed next steps.
Technical review
We'll deeply analyse your codebase, identify performance and security pitfalls, learn key terminology and understand deployment.
We'll finish with a call to discuss our findings and recommendations.
Start development!
Now we have an understanding of your codebase and project requirements, we'll start small with a focused bit of work.
We'll target your priorities and familiarise you with our development process, so you are in control. We won't do what we call "black box development", our pricing has no hidden costs, we will keep in touch the whole time, and we'll listen to your feedback.
Full technical ownership
Rather than an outsourced agency, we think you should feel like we're simply an extension of your team - we're just not in the office!
We typically work in 2 week sprints each sprint starts with a feature planning and estimation session, we kick off development when you are happy with the scope, and a sprint is followed by testing, a demo and your feedback.
“Unfailingly friendly and always on hand. Mmtm kept our business critical services running, whilst enthusiastically supporting our ideas for growth.”
