❤ Kamal Deployment: The Newest Form of Self-Torture

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.

💻 Defying Front-End Inertia: Inertia.js on Rails

At the Tropical on Rails conference, there was a great talk by Svyatoslav Kryukov about using Inertia.js with Rails.

Unlock the power of modern front-end frameworks in Rails with Inertia.js! Build dynamic, single-page apps while keeping Rails simplicity—no APIs, no client-side boilerplate. Leverage React, Vue, or Svelte to tap into the vast front-end ecosystem and deliver interactive user experiences effortlessly.

💻DHH about Local CI

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.
