Our process - How we work
Whether you're optimizing an existing Rails application or building a new one from scratch, our process ensures performance, security, and scalability from day one.

Assess & Plan
Every project begins with a deep dive into your application’s needs. For existing apps, we conduct a code audit to identify performance bottlenecks, security risks, and scalability issues. For new apps, we define the architecture, features, and technology stack to ensure a solid foundation. We work closely with you to align priorities, creating a clear roadmap that sets the stage for long-term success.
For existing apps, we audit performance, security, and scalability to identify improvement areas. For new apps, we define requirements, architecture, and technology stack to ensure a solid foundation.
