You’ve successfully updated to Rails 6.0? Congratulations!

Updating to 6.0 can be a huge task for many companies, especially if the codebase was a few versions behind. (We should know, we help people with those updates).

If you have recently updated your app then congratulations, we know how big an achievement that is.

But you’ve probably realized that Rails 6.1 is going to create another headache, especially if you don’t keep all your gems updated over the next year.

Note: If you’re on version 2.3, 3.2, 4.2 or 5.2 and are contemplating the work required for upgrading, check out The Roadmap

Let us keep your codebase up to date

Developers always have an endless list of bugs to fix or features to build, so it’s inevitable that non-urgent tasks like checking gem dependencies get pushed aside.

With our Stay Up To Date service, we will constantly monitor your codebase to detect:

Any conflicts between your code and the Rails master branch
Issues due to dependencies releasing breaking changes
Submitted changes that don’t follow the future Rails way

We will then go ahead and submit a set of pull requests or work with your developers where your input is required. That way your Rails 6.1 upgrade will only require a PR submission.

Don’t ever let your Rails version fall behind

We have upgraded over 80 Rails applications since 2011

Our sole focus at FastRuby.io is updating Rails applications. We are constantly finding the best workflows, learning about the latest automations or reading about major conflicts.

We could save your team 10 to 40 hours a week depending on your codebase, so that your team can stay focused on new features.

7 steps to help maintain your code

1.

Onboarding

We have a call to discuss your application and requirements, then sort out admin and source code access.
2.

Introduce dual booting

This allows us to detect errors, deprecation warnings and potential problems with the next Rails release
3.

Monitor test suite.

Monitor failures in the test suite that uses the next version of Rails.
4.

Setup CI

Set up your continuous integration (CI) service to run nightly builds with the next version of Rails.
5.

Fix outdated idioms

Fix outdated idioms in the current version of the application. Implement Rails shims where necessary.
6.

Open source contributions

Submit open source contributions to dependencies that won’t be compatible with the next version of Rails.
7.

“The FastRuby.io team executed a full upgrade of our application from Rails 4.0 to 5.1, including preparation for an eventual 5.2 upgrade. The team adapted to our environment and kept a clear focus on the goal, resisting the temptation of feature-type distractions. Their effort allowed us to keep up to date with Rails versions without detracting from progress on other goals.”

Ben Langfeld, Solutions Architect at Power HRG

"In addition to producing high quality code they also suggest improvements to our development processes and mentor our new engineers."

Preston St. Pierre, CTO at Predictable Revenue

"The FastRuby.io team exceeded our expectations. They went above and beyond and tried to help out even when the contract was up. They were willing to integrate with our team, and worked with the Junior Developer on our team to get to full productivity."

Will Bridges, Director of Engineering at Storenvy
