Our Talent Has Worked With Top Companies

Why organizations choose us

Toptal in Action

Discover the cutting-edge benefits our clients enjoy from the global Toptal network.

Toptal upgrades a nonprofit’s legacy Ruby on Rails platform and improves reporting performance.

Challenge: A leading nonprofit organization relied on an outdated Ruby on Rails platform that had become increasingly difficult to support, creating security concerns and performance limitations. The organization needed to modernize the application and migrate its database to improve reporting speeds without disrupting ongoing operations.

Solution: Toptal assembled a team with Ruby on Rails expertise to upgrade the legacy platform incrementally while maintaining system stability. Through code refactoring and architectural improvements, the team strengthened security and implemented Sphinx-powered search capabilities.

Outcome: The upgraded Ruby on Rails platform provided greater security and stability, while reducing the risks associated with unsupported legacy technology. By introducing Sphinx for advanced search and reporting, Toptal also increased system performance by 1.5x, enabling faster report generation and a better experience for end users.
