  • The Life and Death of a Rails App with Olivier Lacan - RUBY 635

    The Life and Death of a Rails App with Olivier Lacan - RUBY 635
    May 1 2024
    Olivier Lacan joins the panel again. He currently works for Pluralsight. Today they are talking about the spectrum of creating a Rails app, or any app, from the birth of the idea to the death of the project. They stress the importance of planning for updates. Olivier talks about his experience in maintaining Code School, which has now been incorporated into Pluralsight. David also shares his experience with the life and death of a project. They talk about technical debt and the trouble that it can create, and the importance of making your Rails application maintainable. Olivier talks about his experience when Code School was acquired by Pluralsight. The panel discusses the inevitability of the end of an application and different ways of managing company integration. They talk about ways to plan for shutting down a project. One of the best ways to make integration easier is to clean up your code and always be considering what data needs to be kept and what can be truncated. They discuss some of the issues around storing customer data and respecting individual privacy. The panel talks more about sunsetting, or the ending of an app. People often think that shutting down an app doesn’t have any impact, but it is important to give customers time to adjust to change, as Olivier found out with Code School. Dave talks about different reactions that one could have when change happens. The panel talks about some of the emotional implications of having to destroy something that you’ve worked hard on for a long time. Ultimately, your project isn’t where you should put your self-worth, because projects will come to an end. When things do end, it’s important to look back at where you’ve come from and the impact that you’ve had on people.

  • Scaling and Shopify with Kir Shatrov - RUBY 633

    Scaling and Shopify with Kir Shatrov - RUBY 633
    Apr 17 2024
    Today’s guest Kir Shatrov is a production engineer on Shopify based in London, UK. Today, he and the panel are discussing capacity planning. Kir believes that capacity planning becomes a priority when your company starts losing money and your customers are suffering. When someone does get to the point of scaling their app, it’s important to look at the limitations of the hosting service. It is also important to remember that scaling is not a job that is ever completed.Kir talks about his experience and time with Shopify and what types of changes have happened in the four years he’s been with the company. Kir explains that when Shopify was founded about 12 years ago, they were some of the first contributors to Rails, and Rails was just a zip file they shared over an email. This is important to know because the monolith code for Shopify has never been rewritten, so they put a lot of care into keeping it working. He talks about some of the techniques Shopify uses to avoid splitting into microservices when scaling their organization and how the multiple instances of the database are structured and managed from an ops point of view. He talks about what aspects of Shopify are open source and the approach to the architecture of the background jobs system.The panel discusses what should be done if you want to scale your project and move away from background jobs. Kir talks about what criteria his company uses to determine what moves to a background job and when it is too much to background something. The show finishes with Kir sharing some of his favorite tips, tricks, and approaches he’s used at Shopify.SponsorsChuck's Resume TemplateDeveloper Book Club Become a Top 1% Dev with a Top End Devs MembershipLinksHerokuDigital OceanSidekiqShopify job iterationRedisPostgreSQLResqueStrace RB SpyRB TraceNew RelicData DogFat Free CRMPicksNate - Open sourceNate - Cats (Maine Coon and Russian Blue)Charles - 75 Hard challengeKirill - Ruby Hack ChallengeKirill - Follow Kirill Shatrov @kirshatrov on Twitter and @kirs on GithubBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/ruby-rogues--6102073/support.
