The Pay gem for Rails is a powerful tool for integrating payments. Just a few lines of code, and you get:
- Automatic handling of customer IDs
- Webhook setup
- Ready-to-use database models
Now you can focus on your product, not the busy work.

Just shipped payment processing in my Rails app with literally a few lines of code. The Pay gem handles all the busy work - customer IDs, webhooks, database models. You focus on building your product.
Use Docker to run auxiliary services like databases, Redis, and ElasticSearch. However, it's better to install core languages (Ruby, JavaScript, etc.) natively, for example, using mise. This eliminates versioning issues ("works on my machine"), minimizes hassle, and ensures great performance.
This approach is used at 37signals, and their test suite runs very fast, even on platforms where Docker isn't as efficient (e.g., Mac). But for maximum performance, nothing beats AMD on Linux.

Today I’ll show you how to stop wrestling with Kamal 2 and spend your time more productively. I spent several days configuring Kamal and… I failed spectacularly. I’ve been using Rails for over 15 years, and yet I felt completely stupid being stuck with this piece of… art (yes, definitely art!). Thanks to my friend and colleague Igor Aleksandrov, who helped tremendously and pointed out several issues with my configuration, I decided to write this guide to save you from making the same mistakes I did.

Local CI in 10 seconds. No cloud, no fuss.
gh-signoff is a GitHub CLI extension that turns your laptop into a CI runner. Run your tests locally and sign off on the commit when it’s green.
Remote CI is great for huge builds and parallel test suites. But most apps don’t need all that.
Dev machines are faster than ever — and you already paid for them. Cloud CI is slow, pricey, and rented.
Want that green GitHub checkmark? Get it locally.

These days Render is my go-to tool for deploying Rails apps.
For example, SupeRails.com has been hosted there for 2 years now.
Render is as easy as Heroku to maintain, but cheaper to scale.
