What our engineers handle on Ruby on Rails
This is the hands-on work, done by a person: the jobs the automatic tools cannot do for you.
- 1Install and update Ruby through rbenv or RVM and keep gems with security fixes in view
- 2Run Puma and Sidekiq under systemd with restarts and log rotation
- 3Set up Nginx with TLS, and Capistrano or another repeatable deploy
- 4Back up the database and uploaded files, and test restoring
Problems we fix
Problem
Deploys fail because of a missing Ruby version or gem
What we do
We install the version, bundle correctly and fix the environment so the same steps work every time.
Problem
Sidekiq jobs pile up
What we do
We check the workers, Redis and failed jobs, scale concurrency to fit the server and alert on queue size.
Problem
The app runs out of memory over time
What we do
We tune Puma workers and threads, find leaks with your developers and set restart thresholds.
Automatic tools, and our team for the rest
RootManage is automatic server management with every tool in one place. The tools run by themselves on a schedule and report to one dashboard. Everything they cannot do, and every emergency, is handled by our engineers by hand.
Automatic
RootManage tools, running by themselves
- Server Health agent reports load, disk use and failed login attempts to your dashboard.
- Metrics agent draws CPU, memory, disk and network charts, sampled every five minutes.
- Uptime checks check the server every minute and email you when it stops answering, and again when it recovers.
- LiteHouse runs a low-priority audit of your website at 04:00 IST and lists findings you can act on.
Manual, by our engineers
Everything else, and every emergency
- Hands-on work. Fixes, tuning, migrations, upgrades and the other jobs listed above on this page.
- Emergency work. A hacked site, an outage or a failed update is handled by a person who investigates and fixes it, not by a script.
- Things we do not automate. Anything the tools do not cover is done by hand, over SSH, WHM or RDP, on a login you can remove at any time.
The tools are optional, run on Linux servers and are installed by you with one command each. Every job our team does is recorded as a task in your dashboard with the details, and you get an email when it is updated.
How it works
- 1
Sign up
Create an account, choose a plan and add the server you want managed.
- 2
Install the tools
Run one command per tool. They then work by themselves and report to your dashboard. For hands-on work you give us a login you can remove at any time.
- 3
Automatic, with people behind it
The tools watch, scan and back up automatically and alert you. Our engineers do the rest by hand and handle every emergency, and you follow each task in your dashboard.
Questions about Ruby on Rails
Do you support older Rails versions?
We keep the server running them as safely as we can, and we tell you when the Ruby or Rails version is too old to secure properly.
Can you containerise our Rails app?
Yes. We build the images and a Compose or orchestrator setup and move the app across with a rollback plan.
What does it cost to have Ruby on Rails managed?
Managed plans start at ₹1,999 a month for one server, and Ruby on Rails is managed as part of the server. The pricing page lists what each plan includes. If a server is already infected, the emergency cleanup is a one-time ₹9,000 job.
