Secure Web Application Architecture and Development

Did you just meet Frank Rietta at SpreeConf in Washington, DC? We have a special message prepared.

At Rietta, we help seed level and bootstrapping startups define and launch their Minimal Viable Product through agile development to support Customer Development & Customer Validation processes.

Our team uses Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, GIT, and many, many other tools every single day for clients.

We use Pivotal Tracker and are a results-only work environment. That means that our team members each get paid for the value that is delivered, not just for working on a clock.

Core Service Areas

  • Web App Development

    We create secure web applications that can help your business grow to scale on the Internet while protecting your customers' data.

  • Security Audits

    Many web applications are susceptible to classic SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, and other major attacks.

  • Cloud Hosting Setup

    We help clients plan defense in depth strategies for their cloud deployments. Even a quick whiteboard sketch helps teams visualize even the most complex cloud-based deployments.


    We've partnered with the top tier cloud-based hosting and platform as a service providers, EngineYard and Heroku.

  • Expert Service When You Need It

    Our goal is to be your trusted Ruby on Rails development partner. Rather than creating a $90,000 full-time Rails programmer position at your company, you can work with us and save a lot of money in the long run!

More About Our Services

Backend Ruby Development

We're experts in backend Ruby on Rails development. It has proven, time and time again, to be a super productive platform for our development partners' projects. We get more stuff developed, tested, and delivered this way! As Seth Godin would say, let's ship!

Partner with Design Agencies

For Clean, Responsive Look and Feels, we partner with top design/marketing talent, such as Collider Creative. We can work with your designer, but understand Rietta is not itself a design shop. We bring the computer science to add to their human science to provide the best chance for your success.

We Have a Process; Goal is to Ship!

We have a proven development process that has been designed to launch projects to the world, time after time. It starts with discussion your entire project. We work with you to split it into user stories, which are then sorted by technical difficulty and priority, to build a blueprint for your work. We invite you to learn more through our FAQ.

Due to our current development schedule, we are currently, as of June, 2013, experiencing a 3-4 week availability delay for on-boarding new projects.

The best first step for a project, especially if you want a price quote, is to have a tool like Pivotal Tracker already filled with the user stories needed. That gives you and us the best bet at a reasonable estimation of the size and scope of the custom programming work you need.
