Rails Performance & Scalability
Our team includes engineers who have optimized Ruby on Rails applications at Microsoft and Coinbase. Whether you are scaling on Postgres or MongoDB, we deliver solutions that empower your application to handle millions of users effortlessly.
Our Impact
We collaborate with your engineering team to review and optimize your database, application, and infrastructure.
Our Approach
The Process
Our process begins with a thorough evaluation of your current Rails application and technology stack. Our experts analyze your Rails configuration, performance metrics, ActiveRecord query patterns, and scalability challenges using telemetry from sources like APMs, GCP Cloud Console, and New Relic to identify optimization opportunities that align with your goals.
Following the initial assessment, we collaborate with your team to create a customized optimization strategy. This includes a comprehensive roadmap with specific actions, timelines, and resources. Our holistic approach covers a wide range of optimizations, including ActiveRecord usage optimization, caching strategy enhancement, background job processing, middleware configuration, Puma server tuning, and memory management, among others.
Database Performance Review
A deep dive into your MongoDB or Postgres database is central to our service. We scrutinize your database's internal operations, reviewing indexes, schemas, query efficiencies, and server configurations to pinpoint bottlenecks.
Leveraging industry-leading tools and best practices, we provide a comprehensive report on database performance, potential security vulnerabilities, and opportunities for cost savings. Our recommendations for immediate and long-term improvements can be implemented by your team, or we can assist or fully manage the execution based on your needs.
Application & Cloud Infrastructure Review
Understanding the broader context in which your Rails application operates is crucial. We evaluate your application's interactions with the database, identifying issues such as N+1 queries and other ActiveRecord-related inefficiencies. Additionally, we assess how your cloud infrastructure supports these interactions, ensuring optimal integration.
This holistic review ensures optimizations not just at the application level, but also enhances your Rails app's performance, scalability, and reliability. We refine your cloud setup to achieve better overall efficiency and cost savings.
Continued Support & Optimization
Our commitment extends beyond the initial review and optimization strategy. We offer ongoing support to address future performance challenges, ensuring your Postgres environment remains efficient and cost-effective over time.
From troubleshooting to performance tuning, our team is ready to provide expert assistance as your database and application needs evolve.
