Originally appeared on Rails at Scale. This article was adapted from my Rails World talk “Rails and the Ruby Garbage Collector: How to Speed Up Your Rails App”. Ruby’s garbage collector is designed to be adaptable, scaling from short Ruby scripts to running apps that serve millions of requests per second. While it’s designed to be adaptable, it may not work optimally for every use case.

Originally appeared on The Ruby Dispatch. If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours . If they don’t, they never were. I’ve been scouting out what it will take to update Agile Web Development with Rails 7 for Rails 8, and chapter 17 (Deployment and Production) will need be rewritten to focus on Kamal. This naturally lead me to spend a few hours deploying my Showcase Rails app to Hetzner. Up to this point, I had been following the Kamal project closely, but never had actually used it. Overall, I will say that if I didn’t have Fly.io available to me I would b ..read more
