Ruby on Rails Consulting in Swansea
Rails advice for Swansea organisations, where the diagnosis is usually not the one expected. Teams arrive convinced the language is the bottleneck, and the profile almost always shows the database — queries without indexes, requests issuing hundreds of them, and work happening per row that should happen once.
Why this comes up
The problem
The application is slow, the team is discussing rewriting it in something faster, and nobody has profiled a request.
What you get
What we deliver
- Requests profiled before any conclusion about the cause is accepted
- Database work examined first, since that is where the time usually is
- Indexes assessed against the queries actually being run in production
- Caching applied where it genuinely helps, with invalidation that works
- Upgrade position established for both Rails and Ruby, which move together
- Gem dependencies reviewed for maintenance and for what they cost at boot

Ruby on Rails Consulting in Swansea — common questions
- Is Ruby the performance problem?
- Rarely, in a web application. Time is dominated by database queries and external calls, and the interpreter's speed matters only for computation — so a rewrite in a faster language frequently reproduces the same slow queries in a new codebase.
- What does profiling usually reveal?
- A small number of requests issuing far more queries than anyone expected, and one or two missing indexes. Both are fixable in days rather than the months a rewrite takes, which is why measuring before deciding is worth insisting on.
- How should upgrades be handled?
- As regular maintenance, and remembering that Rails and Ruby versions constrain each other. Falling behind on both simultaneously is the expensive position, because each upgrade then requires the other and neither can move independently.
- Do gems affect performance?
- At boot, noticeably. A large dependency list slows start-up, which matters for deployments and for anything that scales instances — and applications accumulate gems added for one feature and never removed after it was dropped.
- Do you work with businesses across Swansea?
- Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout Wales, including Swansea and the surrounding Swansea area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
- What kind of Swansea businesses do you usually work with?
- Bilingual public-facing systems for institutional clients, and seasonal booking for the Gower tourism trade. Beyond that we work across Higher Education, Healthcare, Manufacturing, Tourism and Public Sector.
- Do you cover the areas around Swansea?
- Yes — we work throughout Wales, including Cardiff, Newport. Swansea is an urban area of roughly 240,000+, and we take on work across the wider Swansea region rather than the city boundary alone.
