Lefkada is a holiday rental marketplace built by a team of local travel experts who have an intimate knowledge of the areas of the island.
Lefkada’s mission is to assist in finding the perfect holiday villa, apartment, yacht. The platform connects people who want to rent out their homes with people looking for accommodations in that locale. They also offer motor boats, car rental, and other activities.
The Ruby on Rails-based platform hasn’t been updated in 8 years. The outdated application was vulnerable to ransomware attacks, malware, and data breaches. Our goal was to maintain the viability of the legacy code without burning time and budget for the development of new code and at the same time, make the application scalable again.
We upgraded Ruby and Ruby on Rails backend to the newest versions.
We improved the speed and performance of the app.
All third-party libraries were updated or replaced with modern solutions.
We fixed all the bugs and made the app functional again.
Lefkada can finally start focusing on adding new features.
Security features were upgraded, and the legacy code was refined.
When we approached them with our issues, small little things in the application were not working right. After a short onboarding process, they began eliminating some of our legacy code to make new feature implementation more manageable. I appreciate their professionalism and objectivity. Ragnarson really does care about their clients and goes above and beyond to meet their needs.
