Do you need guidance on decommissioning your Ruby on Rails application?
It might seem weird for a company that focuses on helping organizations with existing Ruby on Rails applications improve and become more maintainable to also offer a service that helps them retire their apps.
There comes a time in almost every software application when it reaches the end of its lifecycle. While we don't advocate for big rewrites, we understand that some custom software projects no longer provide the value they once did.
If your organization is considering this, it can be helpful to bring in a team like Planet Argon to guide you through the process to avoid any negative on your organization's data, security, or reputation.

Planet Argon has been an incredible stabilizing force for our web platform.

Working with Planet Argon has been a great experience. The transition from our previous provider to them was very smooth, and they took care of everything within a very short period of time.

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.
