Typefast — Productized Rails Engineering

(01) — Rails Technical Audit

Know exactly what
you're sitting on.

A structured, hands-on review of your Rails application — architecture, performance, dependency risk, and technical debt — delivered as a written report with a prioritized, costed roadmap. A standalone deliverable, not a sales call.

(02) — What We Look At

What we actually look at.

Arch

Architecture & data model

How the app is structured, where the coupling lives, what would break first under change.

Deps

Dependency & version risk

How far behind Rails, Ruby, and key gems you are, and what's blocking an upgrade — deprecated APIs, unmaintained dependencies, breaking changes waiting downstream.

Perf

Performance baseline

Where the app is slow today: N+1s, missing indexes, memory pressure, background job backlog — enough to tell you whether it's one bottleneck or a systemic issue.

Tests

Test coverage & CI

Coverage percentage, flaky or missing tests, how safe the codebase is to change without breaking production.

Debt

Technical debt scoring

A prioritized list of what's costing you the most, ranked by risk and effort — not a wall of findings with no order to them.

(03) — What You Get

What you walk away with.

  • /A written report covering all five areas above, in plain language a non-engineer stakeholder can follow
  • /A prioritized, costed roadmap — what to fix first, roughly what it costs, and why
  • /A 60-minute walkthrough call to go through findings and answer questions
  • /Clear guidance on whether your problem is version debt, architecture, performance, or some combination — and which of those to tackle first

(04) — If You Move Forward

It counts toward the real work.

The $1,500 is fully credited toward any Legacy Rails Upgrade or Performance Optimization project you start with us afterward. It also satisfies the assessment step on both of those services — no separate assessment fee, no repeated discovery work.

If you don't move forward, you still keep the report. It's built to be useful on its own, or to hand to whoever ends up doing the work — us or otherwise.

/ Proceed to an upgrade or performance engagement after a Rails Technical Audit and no separate $1,500 execution assessment is required.

(05) — Who This Is For

Who it's for.

  • /You're not sure whether your problem is a Rails version issue, a performance issue, or both
  • /You want an independent, written technical read before committing budget to a bigger project
  • /You need something concrete to bring to a co-founder, board, or engineering hire — not just a verbal opinion
  • /You're evaluating whether to upgrade, rebuild, or leave the app alone, and want data before deciding

(06) — Start Here

Start with the audit.

Tell us your Rails version, rough app size, and what's prompting this. We'll confirm the audit is the right starting point before you pay anything.
