Ruby on Rails Upgrades
Practical guidance and support for upgrading your Rails application to modern versions
Why Upgrade Rails?
Rails applications require regular upgrades to remain secure and maintainable. Each version of Rails typically receives security patches for 18-24 months after release, after which critical vulnerabilities remain unpatched. Beyond security, older Rails versions become increasingly difficult to work with as the Ruby ecosystem evolves.
Address Security Vulnerabilities
Older Rails versions receive no security patches after end-of-life
Maintain Developer Productivity
Modern Rails versions work with current Ruby releases and gem ecosystems
Plan for Long-Term Maintainability
Upgrades become more difficult the longer you wait

Discuss Your Upgrade
Our Approach to Rails Upgrades
We work with organizations that need to upgrade Rails applications while maintaining business continuity. Our typical engagement involves assessing your current application, identifying potential compatibility issues, planning the upgrade path, and executing the upgrade with thorough testing at each step. We document the process and help your team understand the changes.
If you're running Rails 5.2 or earlier, or if you've postponed upgrades for multiple versions, a conversation about your specific situation may be helpful.
