Rails Technical Audit — Clarity Before Action

A structured technical evaluation of your Rails application covering architecture, performance, dependencies, deployment, test health, and operational risk. You receive a written assessment and prioritized roadmap — not generic advice.

The objective second opinion your Rails app needs before you commit to a rewrite, upgrade, or scaling plan.

Why Teams Request an Audit

— Preparing for a major upgrade or performance work
— Considering a rewrite and need objective analysis
— Experiencing instability or scaling uncertainty
— Planning to raise capital or undergo technical due diligence
— Unclear long-term architectural direction

How It Works

Access & Discovery

You grant repo access. We review the codebase, run automated analysis, and identify areas that require deeper investigation.

Deep Review

Manual review of architecture, data modeling, query patterns, test coverage, dependency health, deployment configuration, and security posture.

Report & Roadmap

You receive a written audit report with prioritized findings, risk classifications, and a recommended action plan. We walk through it live.

What Makes This Different

No generic checklists

Direct review by a senior Rails engineer

Focused on real-world production risk

Actionable roadmap — not theory

Designed to inform high-stakes technical decisions

What We Review

Application architecture and domain modeling

Database schema and query performance

Gem dependency health and version risk

Test suite coverage and reliability

Background job structure and throughput

Deployment pipeline and infrastructure

Security posture and vulnerability surface

Technical debt classification

Scaling risk assessment

Is This For You?

This is for you if

— You need clarity before committing to an upgrade or refactor
— Your team inherited a codebase they didn't build
— You want an independent technical assessment
— You're evaluating build vs. buy vs. fix decisions

This is not for you if

— You already know what needs to be done and just need execution
— You're looking for a free consultation
— Your application is not built on Rails

Audit Tiers

Not all teams require a full audit. Focused reviews are available for specific concerns.

Every audit is a standalone deliverable. If follow-up work is needed, audit findings inform scope and pricing for upgrade or optimization engagements.

What You Receive

— Written technical assessment document
— Identified architectural risks
— Dependency and version health review
— Performance and scaling observations
— Test coverage and stability evaluation
— Prioritized action roadmap
— Live walkthrough session

How This Differs from an Assessment

Unlike Upgrade or Performance Assessments, the Technical Audit is a broader, independent system review. It evaluates:

— Architectural soundness
— Long-term scalability risk
— Dependency lifecycle exposure
— Operational stability
— Rewrite vs. upgrade considerations
— Technical debt concentration

The audit is strategic and may or may not lead to execution work with Typefast.

If a client proceeds to an upgrade or performance engagement after a Full Codebase Audit or Strategic Architecture Review, a separate execution assessment is not required.

Engagement Qualification

All projects begin with a paid assessment. Following the assessment, we determine whether to proceed based on:

— Technical feasibility
— Architectural stability
— Scope clarity
— Operational risk
— Budget alignment

If we determine that the engagement should not proceed, you receive:

— A detailed assessment report
— Identified risks and bottlenecks
— Recommended next steps
— Architectural direction where applicable

The assessment remains a standalone deliverable. We accept a limited number of engagements to ensure depth of focus and execution quality.

Frequently Asked Questions

What do I need to provide?

Repository access and a brief context conversation. We handle everything else.

Is this just automated tooling?

No. Automated analysis informs the review, but findings are manually validated and contextualized by senior Rails engineers.

Can the audit lead to an upgrade or optimization engagement?

Yes. Audit findings directly inform scope and pricing for follow-up work. Many clients use the audit as a first step.

Will you share the report with our team?

The report is yours. Share it with your team, stakeholders, or board as needed.

What if we just need a quick opinion?

The Focused Review tier is designed for targeted questions. You don't need a full audit to get clarity on a specific concern.

Know Where You Stand.

Start with a technical audit. You'll receive a written report with prioritized findings and a clear path forward.
