I will audit and plan your ruby on rails upgrade for a legacy app


About this gig
Stuck on an old Rails version and not sure what an upgrade will break? I audit your app and hand you a clear, prioritized plan. No vague "it depends".
You get a written report covering:
- Current Ruby/Rails versions and end-of-life status
- Gems that will block the upgrade (abandoned, incompatible, replaceable)
- Deprecations and removed APIs your code actually uses
- What your test suite really covers
- A recommended upgrade path (e.g. 5.2 > 6.0 > 6.1 > 7.0) with an effort estimate per step
Standard adds an executable plan: gem-by-gem replacement matrix, a dual-boot setup as a pull request so your team upgrades safely, config diffs and a test plan. Premium executes one version upgrade on a branch with a green test suite and handover notes.
About me: senior full-stack engineer (Ruby on Rails, React, Go) who maintains and modernizes mission-critical legacy systems in the oil and gas industry, where downtime is not an option. Read-only repo access is enough; I never need production access. UTC-3, overlapping US business hours.
Message me before ordering if your app is very large (100k+ lines) so I can confirm the scope.

FAQ
Which Rails and Ruby versions do you cover?
Rails 4.2 to 7.x and Ruby 2.x to 3.x. Rails 8 upgrades are possible too, ask me first.
Do you need access to production?
No. A read-only invite to your GitHub, GitLab or Bitbucket repository is all I need.
Can you do the whole upgrade, not just one version?
Yes. Premium covers one version. Multi-version upgrades are quoted after the audit as a custom offer.
Do you also work with React or Go?
Yes, for follow-up engagements after the upgrade.
