FAQ
Asked first, every time.

Yes. Rails 7+ with Hotwire is excellent for MVPs, SaaS, and content platforms. GitHub, Shopify, and Basecamp all run on Rails at massive scale. It remains the fastest way to go from idea to production.
A functional MVP typically takes 8-12 weeks with Rails. The framework's conventions eliminate weeks of boilerplate decisions around auth, database, routing, and deployment.
Yes. We profile with rack-mini-profiler, optimise N+1 queries with Bullet, add caching layers, and implement background job processing with Sidekiq.
Yes. Rails API-only mode with Jbuilder or ActiveModel Serializers for REST, and GraphQL-Ruby for GraphQL APIs. Paired with React or mobile frontends.
We leverage Active Record's `includes` and `joins` methods efficiently to eager-load associations, heavily mitigating N+1 query problems while utilizing Arel for highly complex, secure, and composable SQL query generation.
Yes, we specialize in identifying bounded contexts within a Rails monolith and incrementally decoupling them into smaller, independent Rails API or Go microservices communicating securely via gRPC or message queues.
Rails embraces 'Convention over Configuration', providing massive amounts of scaffolding out-of-the-box. This eliminates boilerplate coding, allowing our developers to launch robust, secure MVPs significantly faster than other frameworks.
We configure Active Job to utilize Sidekiq as the backend queueing system. Heavy tasks (image processing, mass email dispatch) are pushed to Redis and executed asynchronously by worker processes to keep web requests lightning fast.
Absolutely. We configure Rails in API-only mode (`--api`), stripping out view rendering overhead, and serve fast JSON payloads using serializers (like Fast JSONAPI), secured with JWT or Devise Token Auth.
We enforce strict Test-Driven Development (TDD). We use RSpec for deep unit testing of models and controllers, and Capybara alongside headless Chrome for comprehensive end-to-end integration testing of user workflows.
