Our migration approach

01

Audit

We map your Rails version, gem dependencies, test coverage, and database schema to identify every upgrade blocker before writing a single line of code.

02

Plan

We build a phased migration plan with version-by-version upgrades, gem replacements, and deprecation fixes. Each phase is deployable and testable independently.

03

Migrate

We execute the upgrade incrementally, running your full test suite at every step, and deploy to production with zero downtime.

FAQ

FAQ

Most Rails 5 to 7 migrations take 4-12 weeks depending on application size, gem dependencies, and test coverage. We scope each project individually and give you a clear timeline before work begins.
No. We run the upgraded application in a staging environment, validate every feature against your existing test suite, and deploy with zero downtime using blue-green or rolling deployments.
We audit every gem for Rails 7 compatibility, replace deprecated ones with maintained alternatives, and ensure your Gemfile is clean and up to date before deployment.
Cost depends on scope, but our flat monthly model means no surprise invoices. We scope the engagement together and provide a predictable cost before any work begins.
