Let’s Discuss Your RoR Project
Our Ruby on Rails Consulting Services
With a understanding of the RoR ecosystem, we at Space-O excel in delivering top-tier Rails consulting services. As you look to hire RoR developers, consider our team who has years of experience in architecting, developing, and launching Ruby on Rails applications. We guarantee that your Rails projects exemplify excellence and innovation.
Architecture Reviews
We evaluate your Rails architecture against industry best practices, identifying bottlenecks that limit growth and proposing pragmatic solutions that work. Our architects map out migration paths from legacy Rails 3/4 to modern Rails 7, design microservice extractions that actually make sense, and establish architectural patterns that prevent future technical debt. We don’t recommend rewrites – we show you how to evolve what you have into what you need.
Code Audit & Technical Assessment
Our comprehensive code audits go beyond surface-level scanning to reveal the hidden technical debt killing your productivity. We analyze your test coverage, identify security vulnerabilities, evaluate gem dependencies for risks, and pinpoint the exact code smells causing bugs. You’ll receive a prioritized action plan that tackles critical issues first, with specific remediation steps your team can implement immediately.
Performance Tuning
We systematically eliminate every performance bottleneck in your Rails stack. Our optimization process includes N+1 query elimination, database index optimization, strategic caching implementation, background job architecture, CDN configuration, and memory leak detection. We’ve helped clients handle 100x traffic spikes, reduce server costs by 70%, and achieve sub-second response times even under heavy load. Every optimization includes monitoring to prove the impact.
Security Assessments
Our security experts conduct penetration testing specifically for Rails applications, uncovering vulnerabilities before hackers do. We audit for OWASP Top 10 risks, SQL injection points, XSS vulnerabilities, authentication weaknesses, and Rails-specific security antipatterns. Beyond finding problems, we implement fixes: configuring CSP headers, encrypting sensitive data, implementing proper authorization layers, and establishing security monitoring that catches threats in real-time.
RoR App Integration
We architect robust integrations that don’t break when APIs change. Whether you’re connecting payment processors, CRMs, shipping providers, or building your own API, we implement resilient patterns including circuit breakers, retry logic, webhook handling, and comprehensive error recovery. Our API designs follow JSON:API or GraphQL best practices, include versioning strategies, and come with full documentation your partners will actually use.
Hosting & Infrastructure
We transform fragile deployment processes into bulletproof CI/CD pipelines that deploy multiple times daily. Our DevOps expertise covers containerization with Docker, Kubernetes orchestration, AWS/GCP/Azure optimization, database replication strategies, zero-downtime deployment setup, and infrastructure-as-code implementation. We’ve reduced deployment time from hours to minutes and infrastructure costs by up to 60% through right-sizing and auto-scaling.
RoR Application Development
Launching a new Rails project? We architect applications that remain maintainable at 10x scale. Our planning process establishes proper domain boundaries, designs database schemas that won’t paint you into corners, selects gem dependencies that won’t become liabilities, implements testing strategies that actually catch bugs, and creates development workflows that keep your team productive. We’ve guided 200+ greenfield projects from conception to successful launch.
Legacy App Migration
We specialize in upgrading legacy Rails applications without disrupting your business. Our incremental migration approach updates Ruby and Rails versions systematically, replaces deprecated gems with maintained alternatives, modernizes JavaScript from jQuery to Stimulus/Turbo, implements modern testing with RSpec and FactoryBot, and refactors legacy code patterns to current best practices. Most migrations complete in 4-8 weeks with zero downtime.
Team Augmentation
Our senior consultants embed with your team, contributing code while transferring knowledge. We establish code review processes that improve quality, implement pair programming sessions that accelerate learning, create architectural decision records for consistency, develop team style guides and best practices, and mentor junior developers into Rails experts. Your team emerges stronger, faster, and more independent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between Ruby on Rails consulting and Rails development?
Rails consultants are senior architects who diagnose problems, design solutions, and optimize existing systems – like doctors for your code. Rails developers execute tasks and build features. Consultants bring 10+ years of experience solving complex architectural problems, while developers focus on writing code. We provide both: strategic consulting to fix root causes and expert development to implement solutions. Most clients need consulting first to identify what’s really wrong, then development to fix it properly.
How much can Ruby on Rails consulting reduce our development costs?
Our clients typically see 40-60% reduction in development costs within 90 days. We achieve this by eliminating technical debt that slows development, optimizing performance to reduce infrastructure costs, implementing proper testing to prevent expensive bugs, and training your team to work more efficiently. One client reduced their AWS bill from $80,000 to $30,000 monthly through our optimizations.
How are you different from offshore Rails developers?
We provide senior-level expertise, not just coding hours. Our consultants have 10+ years of Rails experience, work in your timezone for real-time collaboration, understand business impact beyond just code, and transfer knowledge so you’re not dependent on us. Offshore developers often provide junior talent, work asynchronously, causing delays, focus on tickets rather than solving root problems, and keep knowledge siloed. While offshore works for simple tasks, complex Rails problems need experienced consultants who’ve solved them before. We fix in weeks what offshore teams struggle with for months.
How much does it cost to hire a Ruby on Rails consultant?
Rails consulting starts at $95/hour for on-demand expertise, with most project-based engagements ranging from $25,000-$150,000 depending on scope. Emergency consulting is $150/hour with 24-hour response. Dedicated Rails architects cost $8,000-$15,000/month. However, focus on ROI: clients typically save 2-3x the consulting cost through reduced development time, lower infrastructure costs, and fewer production issues.
