Rails upgrades
Moves from 8.0 to 8.1 before security fixes stop.
Frameworks
Ruby on Rails development services and the upgrade clock
We have no published Rails build. Rails 8.0 reaches the end of security fixes on 7 November 2026, so we show the nearest back end work and the versions that matter.

When Rails is the right call
Pick Ruby on Rails when
- You already run a Rails application
- You are on Rails 8.0 and must plan an upgrade
- The product is a data-driven web app
Look elsewhere when
- You need a published Rails build to inspect, which we do not have
- A new back end on Python or Node.js, where we have proof
- The work is a thin API for a React console

What buyers ask first
How long is a Rails release supported?
Bug fixes for one year after the first release of a series and security fixes for two years, with a new feature release planned every six months.
Is Rails 8.0 still supported?
For security fixes only, until 7 November 2026. Its bug fix support ended on 7 May 2026.
Do you have a published Rails build?
No. We say so on the first call and show the nearest work, which is Python and Node.js back ends and a project takeover.
Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?
You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts stay in your name.
