With the introduction of #Rails8, it's time for a new demo. Build a basic blog, add a WYSIWYG editor, put it behind authentication, make it available as a PWA, and deploy it to production before your cup of coffee gets cold.

Rails Core member @tenderlove delivered the closing keynote at this year's #RailsWorld. With his unique presentation style (a little bit technical, a little BS) he talked about speeding up the Rails Router, building faster parsers...and lambos. Watch the full talk here: piped.video/ZE6F3drGhA8

This keynote got a lot of people talking at #RailsWorld, and was mentioned often as one of the favorites in the attendee feedback survey. Check it out: piped.video/olxoNDBp6Rg
At a certain scale, a company may ask: 'Should we stay the course with a monolith or migrate to microservices?' At @Shopify they chose to modularize their monolith, but after 6 years @eileencodes wonders in her #RailsWorld Day 2 Opening Keynote: 'Did that fix what it set out to fix? Is this better than before?' piped.video/olxoNDBp6Rg

I was lucky to be at #RailsWorld in Toronto last month, and attended @dmcbreen's talk on Kamal 2.0 and then @kevinmcconnellās talk on kamal-proxy - both excellent. After that I was really keen to upgrade my apps and try it all out!

Blog: āIām running out of superlatives! This time last year I was euphorically writing about #RailsWorld on returning from Amsterdam as it was simply spectacular. Fast forward to today as I sit in my hotel room about to head home from Rails World 2024 in Toronto, the feeling is only amplified tenfold. This extraordinary bringing together of the Rails community to celebrate, share and learn is something truly specialā mileswoodroffe.com/articles/ā¦
