Frequently Asked Questions
- Is Ruby on Rails still a good choice in 2025?
- Yes, Rails remains an excellent choice for web applications. It offers rapid development, a mature ecosystem and is used by companies like Shopify, GitHub and Airbnb. Rails 8 continues to evolve with modern features like Hotwire and Solid Queue.
- How long does it take to build a Rails application?
- A typical MVP can be built in 2-4 months. Rails' convention over configuration approach enables rapid development, making it ideal for startups wanting to get to market quickly.
- Can you help upgrade our legacy Rails application?
- Yes, we specialise in Rails upgrades. We take a systematic approach to upgrade applications from older versions to the latest Rails, implementing modern practices and improving security along the way.
- What's the difference between Rails and other web frameworks?
