New blog post: Eager loading Rails ActiveStorage Variants Almost Killed My Site

"Our Heroku dynos were crashing. I was burning the midnight oil and there were no changes to my own codebase that could explain this".

I just upgraded a #Rails app from 7.0 to 8.0 only to realise after agonising for two days that in version 7.1, "eager loading" ActiveStorage records was "fixed" so now it takes 1200 ms to load a page in production instead of 120 ms.

Brakeman 7.1.0 is released! Support for Haml 6.x, render shortcuts, and more: https://brakemanscanner.org/blog/2025/07/18/brakeman-7-dot-1-dot-0-released

I figured out #mastodon is coded in #Rails Now I motivated to take a look the source code. Probably in future I can make contributions.

I’m upgrading a #Rails app from 7.1 to 8.02. The App uses tailwindcss-rails even though I don’t use any #TailwindCss in the app. I had problems taking Tailwind to 4.x so I pinned it to ~> 3.3.1 per the README. I’d love to get over the hump and get it all the way to 4.x. but there was an @forms plugin that seemed to be missing.

Anyone know of specific steps to upgrade a Rails App? (The instructions seem more geared to a generic App and I can’t seem to make the translation). Boosts appreciated.

Rails Engines > microservices? This Active Storage Dashboard shows how to build modular Rails apps without the complexity. Simple. Powerful.

It sounds fairly niche, but hey, I know what I like and what I’m best at!

I've seen a lot of content about using #DDD (Domain-Driven Design) with #Ruby on #Rails, but none of it has addressed how to do the "one database per bounded context" pattern--especially in the world of Solid* and SQLite by default.

Does anybody have any strategies for this?

#Rails question: does anyone know if you can enable/disable (and even install?) Rails Engines at runtime, to behave as some sort of dynamic application extension plugin system? I'm wondering about having a way to enable optional features for @manyfold...

Trying out a bit using #blazor to make a game.

Now this one can be won (and there is no AI, so you need to play against yourself or invite someone to a game.)

There will be bugs, but its a bit interesting to write a web application with state like this as opposed to using #rails that I would usually use.

Friendly reminder that @rubycentral has decided to platform hate at the last #railsconf by having #dhh speak.

The community has already fought this battle and removed his hate from our conference but apparently @rubycentral has no spine.

What happened to #MINASWAN ? How are our lgbtq+ or minority community members supposed to feel welcome and safe when you actively platform someone who rails against them at every opportunity.

Choose a local conference instead!
