Migration Services
Codimite modernizes legacy Ruby on Rails applications by rebuilding suitable backend services in Go. Improve performance, scale concurrent workloads, and move toward a cloud-native microservices architecture.
Scale with Go
Use compiled Go services to support faster and more predictable performance for suitable workloads.
Manage large numbers of simultaneous operations using lightweight goroutines and Go's concurrency model.
Rebuild tightly connected Rails modules as independently deployable Go APIs and microservices.
Potentially reduce memory, compute, and container requirements after workload-specific benchmarking.
Deploy compiled Go applications with fewer external runtime dependencies.
Use static typing, simple language conventions, and compile-time checks to support maintainable backend systems.
Migration Process
Review the Rails codebase, architecture, gems, database relationships, integrations, infrastructure, and performance bottlenecks.
Identify Rails services that offer the strongest performance, scalability, or operational value when migrated.
Re-engineer and benchmark a selected Rails component before expanding the migration.
Rebuild services using Go-native architecture patterns while preserving business logic, APIs, integrations, and data flows.
Complete functional, regression, integration, performance, and load testing before a staged or controlled cutover.
Why Codimite
Codimite combines application modernization, Go engineering, cloud architecture, and DevOps expertise to deliver scalable and risk-managed migration projects.
Talk to a Migration ExpertMigration-Led Technical Assessment. We evaluate your Rails architecture, dependencies, performance, and infrastructure before recommending what should move to Go.
Experienced Go Engineering. Our engineers design and build scalable Go APIs, microservices, backend platforms, and cloud-native applications.
Business Logic Preservation. We document and rebuild existing functionality, API contracts, integrations, workflows, and data relationships.
Risk-Managed Delivery. Pilot migrations, phased releases, parallel environments, rollback planning, and controlled deployment help reduce operational risk.
Cloud and DevOps Expertise. We support containerization, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines, observability, serverless platforms, and cloud deployment.
End-to-End Support. Codimite manages assessment, architecture, re-engineering, testing, deployment, optimization, documentation, and knowledge transfer.
Comparison
| Comparison Area | Ruby on Rails | Go Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| Architecture | Commonly used for integrated MVC and API applications | ✓ Strong fit for lightweight APIs and independently deployable microservices |
| Runtime model | Runs through Ruby and the Rails framework | ✓ Compiles applications into executable programs |
| Performance | Depends on application design, database usage, and server configuration | ✓ Compiled performance for demanding backend workloads |
| Concurrency | Uses threads, processes, application servers, and background jobs | ✓ Built-in goroutines and channels for concurrent processing |
| Resource usage | Rails applications may require multiple workers or processes at scale | ✓ Potentially lower memory and infrastructure usage for suitable services |
| Deployment | Requires Ruby, Rails, gems, and framework dependencies | ✓ Deploys with fewer external runtime dependencies |
| Type system | Ruby uses dynamic typing | ✓ Static typing and compile-time checks improve predictability |
| Microservices | Rails can support API-only and modular applications | ✓ Strong fit for APIs, networking, microservices, and distributed systems |
| Cloud scalability | Scaling may require additional application workers and containers | ✓ Efficient concurrency supports high-volume cloud services |
FAQs
No. Codimite can migrate selected APIs, background workers, modules, or performance-sensitive services while retaining suitable functionality in Rails.
Yes. Go microservices can operate alongside Rails through APIs, message queues, event streams, and shared data platforms, supporting incremental migration.
Organizations may consider Go for performance-sensitive services, high-concurrency workloads, simplified deployment, static typing, and cloud-native microservices.
It may reduce infrastructure usage for suitable workloads. Actual savings depend on architecture, traffic, database usage, deployment design, and current resource consumption.
Minimal or zero-downtime migration may be possible through parallel environments, staged releases, traffic switching, feature flags, and rollback planning.
The timeline depends on codebase size, Rails version, gems, integrations, database complexity, test coverage, and migration scope. A technical assessment is required for an accurate estimate.
Identify which Rails services should be retained, optimized, or rebuilt in Go through a focused technical assessment.
