Ruby has quietly entered a new phase.
Not a single breakthrough, but simultaneous progress across runtime, framework, infrastructure, and application capabilities.
Ruby 4 + Rails 8 together point to a broader, more versatile platform.

A thoughtful talk from RailsTokyo #3 explores what happens when we design apps the way Rails itself expects — not the way enterprise architecture trends suggest.
If you’re interested in long-term maintainability of Rails applications, this analysis is worth your time.

⚡ From ~30 minutes to ~2 minutes: how a Rails team achieved ultra-fast CI — without rewriting tests.
Parallel RSpec done right, smart workload balancing, PostgreSQL on tmpfs (RAM), and even reconsidering cloud vs physical hardware.

When introducing parallelism in Rails,
the real danger isn’t threads.
It’s connection pool exhaustion.
Based on a Kaigi on Rails 2025 talk by @katakyo, I wrote a breakdown of how to safely scale parallel workloads in production Rails systems.

Seems that's the end of the line for Heroku https://www.heroku.com/blog/an-update-on-heroku/
I remember how amazing it felt in the early days of #Ruby on #Rails. They have been in decline for quite a while now, but it's still sad to see them go.
