Rails Rescue / code audit
Inherited a Rails app that's slow, fragile, or scary? Start with a map.
You don't have to commit to a big, uncertain rebuild to get unstuck. We start with a fixed-price audit: we map the real state of your codebase and give you a clear, honest plan, before anyone spends money on the wrong thing.

- Shipping a small feature takes far longer than it should.
- The app breaks in ways nobody fully understands.
- You're stuck on an old Ruby/Rails version and the upgrade feels too risky.
- The original developers are gone and what's left is a black box.
What you get
- A written assessment in plain language, healthy, risky, urgent.
- A prioritized plan, and whether a rewrite is actually warranted (often it isn't).
- A clear next step, and a fixed quote for it.

FAQ
Do I need a full rewrite?
Usually not. Most apps that feel unfixable are recoverable with targeted work. The audit tells you honestly whether a rewrite is justified. We do not default to the most expensive answer.
How long does the audit take?
It is a short, fixed-scope engagement. We agree the timeline and price before we start.
Can you just upgrade our Rails version?
Yes. Version upgrades, and the gem updates around them, are core work, done test-first so you can trust that nothing broke silently.

An honest read on your project, and, if it's a fit, a low-risk first step.
