# Ruby on Rails upgrades

Ensure your application stays ahead with our Ruby on Rails upgrade services,
keeping your technology stack current and optimized.

## Service Details

Ruby on Rails moves fast. We understand that some projects are not able to
upgrade to the latest Ruby on Rails version immediately. And as time passes,
these projects fall further and further behind in the Rails version, and
catching up with the latest Ruby on Rails version becomes very daunting. This is
where BigBinary’s expertise can help. Over the last 14 years, we have upgraded
many Rails applications and have made those projects up to date with the latest
version of Ruby on Rails. The cost of not having the latest Ruby on Rails
version is hidden. You pay this cost very slowly in terms of lost productivity.
Every new version of Ruby on Rails brings more good stuff. The new gems make
themselves compatible with the latest version of Ruby on Rails. If you are using
an older version of Ruby on Rails, you will spend more time finding the gem that
works with the older version of Rails. You will constantly look at the API of an
older version of Rails. If a new team member joins the project, it will take
much longer to get up-to-date because that person might want to use a method
introduced in the latest version of Ruby on Rails. Since the project is not
using the latest version of Ruby on Rails, the newcomer would have to find an
alternative way. Finally, there is the issue of security. The Ruby on Rails core
team maintains security of only certain versions of Ruby on Rails as per their
\[Official Security
Policy\](https://guides.rubyonrails.org/maintenance\_policy.html#security-issues).
We all should take security seriously, and we should try to have our projects in
the latest version of Ruby on Rails.
