Your Rails app keeps the business running. We keep the Rails app running.
You’ve already invested years into your Rails app. It supports your team, your customers, and the way your business runs.
Keeping it healthy isn’t just about fixing bugs or shipping features. It’s about making the right calls over time. What to improve. What to leave alone. What’s worth the risk.
We work inside production Rails apps like yours every day. We use modern tools, including AI, to move faster where it helps. But the decisions, the ones that affect stability, performance, and long-term maintainability, come from experience.
That’s what you’re getting with a retainer. A team that knows how to keep things running. And how to move them forward without starting over.

Bugs, upgrades, performance issues- there's always something competing for attention. We help you prioritize the work and move forward without unnecessary risk.
We've seen this before
We've maintained Rails apps through 15+ major Rails releases. Our team has seen every migration path, every deprecation cycle, and every "it works in development but not production" scenario. When something breaks, we've probably fixed it before.
Start with confidence
Bringing in an external team is a big step. Every new retainer starts with a 30-day trial to make sure we’re a good fit.
Shaped to fit your app
Every Rails app is different. We’ll shape a retainer around your priorities and adjust as your needs change.
You're getting a team of support
You’re not relying on one developer. You’re working with a team that understands your app. If someone is out, the work continues without disruption.
What our clients are saying about us
Krista Sharlin
Digital and Social Media Manager at Applegate
The team at Planet Argon quickly became an extension of our own and they continue to be strong and trustworthy development partners. We truly feel they have our best interest in mind, and their expertise goes beyond the technical. Their relationship management with their clients is unparalleled in my experience.
Twila Rios
Manager of Digital Information Systems at Office of the General Convention
Planet Argon is consistently responsive and delivers their tasks on time. They contact me when aspects of the project need to be discussed and provide me with a detailed approach to their plans and actions.
I am impressed at their ability to take on our multiple, complicated existing apps and learn them quickly and well, and quite happy with the numerous improvements they have made for us. Also, their attention to maintenance and support tasks, in addition to development, has been great.
Adriel Henderson
Web Applications Supervisor at Screaming Circuits
Planet Argon has been an incredible stabilizing force for our web platform. We needed a partner who could plug the holes in our web environment and provide the tools needed for smooth development, testing and deployment. Planet Argon has more than met that need. They are without a doubt the most professional and adept development team I have worked with.
Jonathan Silver
Digital Marketing Director at West Dermatology
While their approach to customer serivce and client relations is great, what I actually found most impressive was their ability to help develop solutions in creative ways. None of the complex content issues were a problem, and the team was always open to new information/new requirements regardless of where we were in the process.
