How fast can you build a Rails application?
Simple applications take 4-6 weeks. Complex systems need 3-4 months. We give you working features every two weeks, so you see progress quickly. The exact timeline depends on your requirements and how many features you need.
Can Rails handle high traffic websites?
Yes. GitHub and Shopify serve millions of users with Rails. We optimize for performance from day one. Database indexing, caching, background jobs - all the tools are there. Your app will scale when you need it to.
Do you work with existing Rails applications?
Absolutely. We upgrade old Rails versions, fix performance issues, and add new features. Most of our clients have existing Rails apps that need maintenance or new development. We jump in and help.
Do you offer rails team augmentation?
Yes. We provide senior Rails developers on hourly, part-time, and full-time engagements with EST/PST overlap. Fast Partitions has worked with our team for 5+ years. See our dedicated Rails team augmentation page for engagement models and pricing ranges.
Can you fix slow Rails apps and database performance issues?
Yes — this is a core specialty. We eliminate N+1 queries, optimize PostgreSQL indexes, tune Sidekiq, and implement Redis caching. We reduced query times to 20ms on a system with 5M+ records. Read our technical approach to Rails database performance optimization.
Can you provide dedicated Rails developers?
