Tackling technical challenges
We understand that upgrading crucial systems is not just a technical task, but a strategic business decision that requires careful planning and execution. Upgrades bring daunting challenges, from risking operational downtime to diverting crucial resources. We will help you navigate these complexities, ensuring seamless integration.
Battle-tested upgrade processes
Over the years, we have migrated multiple systems for our clients, including upgrading Rails frameworks, enterprise B2B tools, and setting Spree-based stores to the latest versions. Our extensive experience has helped us to develop a set of practices that make these processes seamless and minimize disruption for feature teams.
Upgrading production systems requires:
preparing a solid plan that involves multiple milestones
covers the details of each upgrade
and ensures proper handling of data
This approach will make upgrades a relatively smooth process.
Upgrade your platform to the newest version in 6 steps
Discovery
We begin with understanding your needs and identifying the right moment for an upgrade. To ensure seamless platform upgrades, we define milestones for the whole project to manage risks and dependencies efficiently.
01
Creating a testing plan
Together with our QA team, we create an in-depth regression checklist that will be executed after each stage of the upgrade to ensure no major issues are introduced.
02
Dual booting
To reduce risk and minimize downtime, we use a dual-booting strategy. This involves maintaining two configurations (old and new dependencies) within the same codebase, allowing parallel progress without disrupting the current operations.
03
Upgrade
We will review dependencies on third-party libraries, implement necessary code changes, and conduct comprehensive regression testing to ensure stability and functionality before releasing the upgraded version.
04
Deployments
To ensure a seamless upgrade process, we usually split larger upgrades into multiple milestones that can be deployed in increments. Our process minimizes the risk by using a blue-green deployment and ensuring that upgrades can be easily rolled back in case of any issues.
05
Post-upgrade care
After a successful deployment, we finalize the whole process by cleaning up the codebase, removing temporary setups, and preparing your business for future enhancements.
