💻 Using the Rails 8 (Beta) Authentication Generator in API-Only Mode

As you may know, one of the new features in Rails 8 is the new basic authentication generator, which demonstrates that developing everything related to authentication in a Rails application is not so complex, and often there is no need to rely on third parties (gems).

📺 Rails 8 + No Build CSS: How to Ship Frontend Code FASTER 🚀

In this episode, we're diving deep into one of my absolute favorite Ruby gems - css-zero! If you're tired of wrestling with Webpack and complex build processes, you're going to love this.

There's a new official Ruby on Rails Guide on performance tuning that you probably have not seen that I think every Rails developer should read once at least:

💻 guides.rubyonrails.org/tuning_performance_for_deployment

Mark your calendars: #RailsWorld 2025 will take place September 4 and 5, 2025, again in Amsterdam. The same venue, the same city, and good news - more tickets.

💻 The Rails Foundation welcomes 1Password as Core member

The Rails Foundation is growing! After 2 years, we have made great strides in fulfilling our mission, but there is still more we want to accomplish. With that in mind, at a recent board meeting, the board voted in favor of expanding the number of Core members and seats on the board.

💻 Ruby on Rails #217 Build an invite-only (Internal) app with Avo

If you want to build an Internal tool, or Admin dashboard in Ruby on Rails, there is no better tool than [Avo](https://avohq.io).

If you are building an internal tool, you don't need User registrations. You will want new users to join only via Invitation.

💻 💻 GitHub is still running on Ruby on Rails

It was recently revealed that GitHub.com is still powered by Ruby on Rails, despite the massive scale of the platform.

This proves that Rails is more than capable of handling workloads at the level of industry leaders. And GitHub isn’t the only example—Shopify, the largest player in e-commerce, breaks records every year in payment processing and shipping, also running on Rails.

Rails continues to demonstrate its reliability and scalability while remaining one of the most enjoyable tools for development.

💻 Ruby on Rails: A New Playlist on Rails 8

The Rails team continues to delight us with fresh content. A new playlist, Rails 8 Unpacked with Typecraft, has been released on the official Ruby on Rails YouTube channel. It provides a detailed overview of the key features of the new version.

In nine episodes, the playlist demonstrates how to use Rails 8:

- Setting up authentication with the new generator.
- Working with Propshaft for asset management.
- Exploring the default Dockerfile.
- Deploying applications using Kamal 2.0.

I’ve often looked at Laracasts with envy, as it’s full of valuable content for Laravel. Now, I see that Rails has its own unique approach to learning.

💻 Rails: The New Docs Landing Page

The Rails team has introduced an updated Docs landing page — the perfect starting point for developers of all levels. Everything you need to get started and deepen your knowledge of Rails is now in one place:

- Install Rails on any system: Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- Learn: Step-by-step tutorials for beginners.
- Documentation: Comprehensive guides and API references.
- Community: Discuss, share, and contribute to the project.

Built with the support of the Rails Foundation and active involvement from the Core and Committers teams, this is a great example of how a polished interface makes development even easier and more accessible.
