# Ruby on Rails Maintenance

BigBinary offers ongoing Ruby on Rails maintenance so your application stays
fast, secure, and up to date. From upgrades and security patches to performance
tuning and error monitoring, we keep your Rails application healthy.

## Service Details

Ruby on Rails applications age quietly. New Rails and Ruby releases come out,
security advisories are published, dependencies move on, and before you know it,
your app is running on a fragile stack that nobody wants to touch. Our Rails
maintenance service is designed to stop that slow drift into “legacy mode” and
keep your application modern, secure, and dependable. BigBinary focuses
exclusively on Ruby on Rails, and we’ve been doing it for years. We’ve upgraded
apps across multiple major Rails and Ruby versions, untangled complex dependency
trees, and dealt with all the little edge cases that never show up in tutorials
but always show up in real production systems. That experience lets us move
quickly and safely, without breaking your existing business workflows. A typical
maintenance engagement includes regular Rails and Ruby upgrades, systematic
dependency updates, and prompt application of security patches. We review
deprecation warnings, clean up old code paths, and keep your app compatible with
current versions of libraries and services. Instead of a large, painful upgrade
every few years, you get small, controlled changes on a predictable schedule.
Maintenance isn’t just about versions and gems. We also keep an eye on
performance and reliability. We monitor slow queries, memory usage, and
background jobs, and we address issues before they become outages. Over time, we
reduce technical debt in the areas that matter most—places where small fixes can
yield big wins in speed and stability. We understand that production systems
cannot afford surprises. Our process emphasizes clear communication, staging
environments, automated test suites, and rollback plans. You get visibility into
what’s changing and why, along with a team that treats your application with the
same care and caution as you do. With BigBinary handling your Rails maintenance,
your team is free to focus on features, product decisions, and customer
experience instead of chasing warnings or firefighting production issues. Your
app stays healthy, your stack stays current, and Rails remains an asset—not a
risk—at the core of your business.
