20yrs BUILDING WITH RAILS

60+ RAILS ENGINEERS ON STAFF

240+ PRODUCTS SHIPPED TO PRODUCTION

14+yrs LONGEST RAILS ENGAGEMENT

The same three reasons we picked Rails in 2006 still hold today.

Engineers older than the framework laughed at it. Engineers younger than the framework laughed at it. Meanwhile, it kept shipping the products that paid the bills — and ours.

Maturity

Twenty years of accumulated opinions about how to ship a web app. Mature ORM, mature ecosystem, mature operational story. Boring in the way production systems should be boring.

Fast development

Convention-over-configuration cuts decision overhead at every layer. A Rails engineer joins our team and is shipping production-relevant work the same week — and we get MVPs from zero to deploy in weeks, not quarters.

Huge community

Two decades of accumulated gems, patterns and answers. When we hit something unusual, it's almost always been solved — and we contribute back the parts we maintain ourselves.

Runtime Revolution is a company that has been working successfully since 2006 with startups and corporate companies from all over the world.

Four shapes of Rails work we keep coming back to.

› 01

Helping companies launching their MVPs.

Building MVPs and scaling up from 0 to millions of users.

› 02

Refactoring legacy code bases.

Refactoring legacy code bases and monoliths into more performant, modular and reliable systems.

› 03

Building reliable data ingestion.

Creating stable and predictable data ingestion processes, processing millions of records.

› 04

Augmenting existing engineering teams.

Fully integrating their development process and fulfilling specific needs.

Developers building Ruby on Rails since 2006.

Our expertise allows us to understand the specificities of each challenge and design a tailored solution together with our clients — taking advantage of the stability and security that Ruby on Rails provides.

What we work with.

Ruby on Rails at the centre, with the supporting technologies we ship around it.

Ruby on Rails Core framework

React.js Frontend

React Native Mobile

Heroku Deploy

AWS Infrastructure

ShermansTravel — 14 years on the same Rails monolith, scaled from a newsletter to millions of readers.

WordPress/PHP out, Rails in. Then keep shipping for fourteen years.

ShermansTravel came to us in 2011 with a travel-media platform built on WordPress and PHP that couldn't keep up with editorial volume or click traffic. We migrated the core to Rails, then stayed — through redesigns, infrastructure step-changes and a sub-2-second post-click redirect path that fires millions of times a day.

Same partnership, same accountability since day one. The Rails monolith is still the centre of the platform — refactored module by module, never rewritten.
