Success Stories in Action

SaaS MVP Launch for a Tech Startup

Industry: SaaS / MarTech

A US-based startup needed to build and launch a marketing automation MVP quickly to secure Series A funding. They lacked an in-house RoR team and needed to move faster than local hiring would allow.

"Developers.dev delivered a senior RoR developer who felt like part of our founding team. We launched our MVP ahead of schedule and successfully closed our funding round. Incredible speed and quality."

- Jenna Raynor, CEO, InnovateCo

The Challenge

The client needed to build a feature-rich MVP with a multi-tenant architecture, user authentication, a subscription billing integration, and a core analytics dashboard within a tight 12-week deadline.

  • Aggressive timeline to market.
  • Complex business logic for marketing automation workflows.
  • Requirement for a scalable and secure architecture from day one.
  • Limited budget of a seed-stage startup.

Our Solution

We provided a dedicated team of two senior RoR developers and a part-time QA engineer. They adopted an agile methodology, working in two-week sprints with daily stand-ups to ensure alignment with the founder's vision.

  • Utilized Rails conventions and popular gems to accelerate development.
  • Integrated Stripe for subscription management and Sidekiq for background job processing.
  • Built a comprehensive test suite using RSpec and Capybara for code quality.
  • Deployed the application on Heroku for rapid setup and easy scaling.

E-commerce Platform Migration

Industry: Retail / E-commerce

A mid-sized online retailer's platform was built on an unsupported version of Rails, leading to security vulnerabilities, poor performance, and an inability to add new features. They needed a seamless migration with zero downtime.

"The migration of our legacy Rails app was a daunting project. The team from Developers.dev handled it with exceptional professionalism and technical skill. Our site is now faster, more secure, and easier to update."

- Michael Harper, CTO, Fashionopoly

The Challenge

The core challenge was to upgrade the application from Rails 3.2 to Rails 6.1, which involved significant code refactoring, updating dependencies, and ensuring all existing functionality, including a custom checkout process, worked flawlessly.

  • Risk of breaking critical business functionality.
  • Requirement for zero-downtime deployment.
  • Poor test coverage in the existing codebase.
  • Need to improve application performance and page load times.

Our Solution

Our team of three RoR experts first established a staging environment mirroring production. They implemented a dual-boot strategy, increased test coverage to over 90%, and systematically refactored deprecated code while performing the incremental upgrade.

  • Increased RSpec test coverage from 45% to 92%.
  • Upgraded Ruby and Rails versions incrementally to minimize risk.
  • Optimized database queries and implemented caching, improving performance.
  • Executed the final deployment during a low-traffic window with zero downtime.

FinTech Team Augmentation

Industry: Financial Technology (FinTech)

An enterprise FinTech company needed to accelerate the development of a new compliance reporting module for their core platform. Their in-house team was at capacity, and they required specialized RoR developers with experience in secure coding practices.

"We needed developers who could hit the ground running in a complex, regulated environment. The engineers from Developers.dev integrated with our team in days, not weeks, and their contribution to our reporting module was invaluable."

- Carter Fleming, VP of Engineering, TruVerify

The Challenge

The client required senior developers who could quickly understand a large, existing codebase, adhere to strict security and compliance standards (like SOC 2), and collaborate effectively with an established, high-performing engineering team.

  • Need for rapid integration into existing agile workflows.
  • Strict requirements for secure coding and data handling.
  • Complex domain knowledge in financial compliance.
  • Pressure to deliver the new module before a regulatory deadline.

Our Solution

We provided two senior RoR developers who had prior experience in FinTech. They were onboarded onto the client's systems (Jira, Slack, GitHub) and immediately began pair programming with the in-house team to accelerate knowledge transfer and productivity.

  • Contributed production code within the first week.
  • Implemented robust data encryption and access control features.
  • Helped architect and build the data aggregation and reporting engine.
  • Provided documentation and knowledge transfer before project completion.
