Ruby modernization service

Offer tooling to help companies migrate from legacy Ruby. Many businesses are stuck on outdated versions.

Why now

Ruby's ecosystem fragmentation has left many projects stranded, creating a pain point for maintenance.

Who for
Ruby codebase owners
Business model
Consulting + tool licenses
Effort
A few months

Older Ruby applications are becoming harder to maintain as the ecosystem evolves around newer versions.

Create automated analysis tools that identify compatibility issues and suggest modernization paths for legacy codebases.

Mid-sized tech companies running critical Ruby systems would pay for migration assistance.

MVP could be a CLI tool that scans Gemfiles and flags known problematic dependencies.

Risk: Market may shrink as Ruby continues declining in popularity.
