What we do

Ruby on Rails
specialists, end to end.

Refaktory is a focused Ruby on Rails consultancy. We don't juggle fifteen frameworks at once. We go deep on Rails and its surrounding ecosystem, so your software is scoped realistically from the very start, rests on a stable foundation, and adapts smoothly to new needs down the line.

What we do

Custom Ruby on Rails

New Rails applications for businesses and government bodies, built to scale.

Legacy modernisation

We migrate Rails 4–7 codebases to the current Rails version. If your application is lagging a little behind, no problem, we have a proven track record of bringing it up to date without freezing feature work.

API design and integration

We design REST and GraphQL APIs for long-lived integrations, with clear documentation your partners can actually work with.

DevOps and infrastructure

We ensure stable deployments, continuous monitoring and reliable CI/CD pipelines, so your Ruby on Rails applications stay future-proof and performant.

Long-term commitment

Several clients have been working with us for 5+ years. We treat maintenance as a discipline in its own right: security updates, framework upgrades, performance and continuous improvement.

Technical depth

How we work, technically

Rails is our tool of choice — not because it's trendy, but because it ages well. The stack we reach for around it is small and deliberate, chosen so that handing the codebase over to your own team is straightforward whenever you want to.

  • › Ruby on Rails (current major), with a Hotwire / Turbo / Stimulus front end where SPA complexity isn't justified.
  • › PostgreSQL as the system of record, with Sidekiq for background work and Redis for caching.
  • › Test coverage with Minitest or RSpec, plus integration tests against a real database — never mocked.
  • › Containerised deployment to AWS or a customer-preferred cloud, with infrastructure described as code.
  • › Structured observability — logs, metrics, traces — wired in from the first deploy.

Where we work

Sectors we know

Government and public sector

Long-running engagements with Belgian and EU institutions. Procurement, accessibility, multilingual delivery and audit-ready documentation are part of how we work, not optional extras.

Scale-ups and B2B platforms

Rails applications under real load, often with a multi-tenant model, custom integrations and a roadmap that needs to keep moving while the platform stays stable.

Cultural and education sector

Software for institutions where the user base is broad, the editorial workflow matters and the application has to last across staffing changes and budget cycles.
