We make production React and Rails apps measurably faster

ShakaCode is a web performance and AI engineering company. We build AI-native automation into real product workflows, and we maintain the open-source gems much of the ecosystem relies on, including React on Rails and Shakapacker.

Founded in 2011 by Justin Gordon, creator of the open-source react_on_rails gem, ShakaCode has shipped production React and Rails since 2011. You get competitive pricing, transparent billing, and a team that scales to fit your project.

The ShakaCode team brought out-of-the-box thinking that addressed concerns, met our requirements, and identified operational constraints, far exceeding our expectations.

Why ShakaCode?

The ShakaCode spirit embraces everything that the shaka hand gesture represents to Hawaiians, surfers, and everyone else who understands the meaning behind it. Just as saying "aloha" expresses mutual regard and affection for another person, the shaka gesture represents mutual respect, solidarity, compassion, and friendship.

At ShakaCode, we strive to reflect the same spirit as we collaborate to build beautiful code to ensure the realization of your goals. From our very first interaction, you'll find us to be professional but easy-going, making it easy to partner with us for long term success.

We're charting a new frontier for this industry. There's so much uncertainty, and you never know exactly what people are going to want.

I can say for sure that, from working with ShakaCode, I have the right people on my team to help me solve really tough problems, doing it on time and within budget to give us the best chance for success.
