Rails World 2023 - Strada

Strada is the missing library to take your Turbo Native apps to the next level. Turbo Native enables web developers to ship native apps, but the experience is limited to a WebView container within a native shell. The native app doesn’t have any knowledge about the web content that is being rendered, but Strada bridges that gap.

FactoryBot for Rails testing

YJIT is the Most Memory-Efficient Ruby JIT — Shopify’s tireless work on YJIT has paid off in many ways, including a ~15% speed-up for their storefronts. The team’s methodology on benchmarks, however, goes beyond performance to warm-up time and memory (RSS) size. All in all, YJIT is shaping up to be what we hoped it would be: a great boost to Ruby and Rails development.
