We can help you understand the current state of your code quality, opportunities for optimization, guidance toward strengthening your foundation, process, and people, and learning how best to upgrade your current system.

After launching your web app, maintaining it is crucial. Lacking dedicated support can lead to bugs, outdated systems, and costly security concerns. thoughtbot is here to help and has a part-time support and maintenance team dedicated to supporting applications long-term.
Rails Upgrades
As your business evolves, you will need to upgrade to new Ruby and Rails versions that support updated functionalities for your app. You also want to upgrade to ensure that external code or resources such as gems and other third-party libraries, open source libraries, and third party integrations continue working properly. We are always on hand to help.
