About this listen

 In this solo episode, I sit down to unpack my thoughts on DHH’s RailsWorld keynote and what it means for those of us building modern Rails apps. There’s a lot to love about Rails right now — from the push toward simplicity and reducing needless complexity to powerful new features landing in Rails 8.1 like Markdown rendering, offline mode, structured events, push notifications, and more. I also dive into some of the deployment and infrastructure ideas DHH shared, including Kamal, Omarchi, and the “broad toolchain” philosophy that’s shaping the future of Rails.

I also share my own experiences with deploying Rails apps using Kamal, my thoughts on the microservices vs. monolith debate, and why I’m seriously considering running more of my own infrastructure at home. Plus, I dig into some new projects I’m launching, including podcasts, video series, and SaaS work built using Rails 8.1’s latest capabilities.
