Responsibilities of Ruby on Rails developers
Our experts focus on writing solid, efficient code while creating innovative solutions that push our technology forward.

Application architecture
Rails developers contribute to the overall architecture of the web application. They follow the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern, organizing code into models, views, and controllers for better maintainability and scalability.

Integration testing
Rails developers conduct integration testing to verify that different parts of the application work together seamlessly. This helps identify and address issues that may arise when components interact.
-
Performance optimization
Rails developers analyze and optimize the application's performance, addressing issues related to speed, responsiveness, and scalability.
-
Database design and management
Rails developers design, create, and manage databases for their applications using ActiveRecord, the ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) tool integrated with Ruby on Rails. They define database models and associations and ensure data integrity.
-
API development
For applications requiring API endpoints, Rails developers design and implement APIs to allow communication between different components or external services.
