RubyConf 2024: Cloud Native Buildpack Hackday (and other Ruby deploy tools, too) (schneems.com)
I’ve spent the last decade+ working on Ruby deploy tooling, including (but not limited to) the Heroku classic and upcoming Cloud Native Buildpack. If you want to contribute to a Ruby deployment or packaging tool (even if it’s not one I maintain), I can help. If you want to learn more about Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNBs) and maybe get a green square on GitHub (or TWO!), keep reading for more resources.

Slow deployment causes meetings (2015) (tidyfirst.substack.com)
“I can’t get any code out with all these meetings.” What if this perennial engineer complaint has causation backwards? Adding and removing organizational overhead is relatively easy compared to increasing an organization’s capacity to deploy code. What if meetings and reviews are an organization’s adaptive response to avoid overloading deployment?

Rails 8.0 Released (rubyonrails.org)
Deploying modern web apps – with all the provisions needed to be fast and secure while easily updateable – has become so hard that many developers don’t dare do it without a PaaS (platform-as-a-service). But that’s ridiculous. Nobody should have to pay orders of magnitude more for basic computing just to make deployment friendly and usable. That’s a job for open source, and Rails 8 is ready to solve it.

This article delves into what blue-green deployments are, why database changes can be tricky in this context, and how to navigate common change scenarios effectively in Django.

A Checklist of Issues for Progressive Web Apps and How to Fix Them (heltweg.org)
This post is a collection of pitfalls I ran into developing progressive web apps or PWAs (such as WeightBook) without testing on actual devices, especially iPhones. Looking at your app in the browser dev tools or an Android test device can only take you so far. If you are interested in hosting your PWA using nginx and kubernetes / docker, also have a look at Build a progressive web app in docker with nginx to deploy to kubernetes or docker swarm.

Kamal 2: Thou need not PaaS (world.hey.com)
Kamal 2 is a huge leap forward for that tool, and it has just shipped. Now you can deploy multiple applications to the same server, and you can have SSL certificates automatically provisioned via Let's Encrypt. A big compression in complexity, especially when just getting started.

Against the 'QA‐Free' Philosophy (github.com/getlago)
I recently watched Pieter Levels' interview with Lex Friedman and dove through the comments. Most discussed one hallmark topic: Pieter’s 1-click deployment system that only leverages local tests for testing. In Pieter’s own words, he’s notorious for not setting up staging servers. He prefers a stripped-down pipeline, something that enables him to ship fast.
