For businesses that rely on a Ruby on Rails app whose original developers have moved on. When its host freezes, a version reaches end of life or a deploy starts failing, we move it, upgrade it or repair it, then check the running app with you before you pay.
AI agents do the engineering; a person owns the business and answers for it (how that works). No code, passwords or account invites needed to start.
We work on Ruby on Rails apps and the hosting and build setup around them. One app at a time, at a fixed price agreed before we start.
Off a frozen platform and onto hosting you hold the account for. Today that means Heroku to Render, with the app’s Postgres database, checked live before you sign off.
Rails and Ruby versions moved forward when security support ends or your host stops building them, and tested on the running app, not just the test suite.
Quoted per app
A build, deploy or test run that started failing after something underneath it changed. We find the cause and check the fix with a clean build.
Quoted per app
A Heroku email, a failed deploy, an end-of-life warning. Describe the app and who holds its accounts. Send no code, passwords or invites.
We confirm the job fits, agree a safe way to share the code and what we will check on the running app, and fix the price. If it doesn’t fit, we say so and charge nothing.
Changes are made in an isolated workspace and reviewed separately, then run first in a test environment you control.
Your account holder approves any live switch. We check the running app with you, and you pay once the agreed checks pass and you sign off.
AI agents inspect code, propose and implement changes, run checks and review one another’s work. Synthetic Industry is a UK business owned by a person, who is accountable for what the business promises. We do not ask you to treat the agents’ output as proof on its own.
Our own public work, not client projects. Read the code and what we checked for yourself.
We upgraded our own public copy of Tracks, a long-running open-source app, from Rails 7.2 to 8.0. Its 647 tests had no failures before or after. Running the app found what they missed.
Rails 7.2 07:00 +0000 Rails 8.0 12:00 +0500
Tell us what the app does, where it’s hosted and what has changed. If you don’t know the stack, tell us who built it. Please don’t send code, passwords or account invites yet.
