Optimize Database Performance in Ruby on Rails and ActiveRecord

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, rails, ruby, software

In Rails, we're more likely to use SQL databases than other frameworks. Unlike NoSQL databases, which can be scaled horizontally with relative ease, SQL databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL are much less amenable to easy scaling. As a result, our database usually becomes the primary bottleneck as our business grows. Although SQL databases are very efficient, as our growing customer base puts an increasing load on our servers, we begin scaling our instance counts, workers, etc. But we can't just make copies of our database for each new server we spin up. This makes optimizing database performance critical for any…

Context Let's consider the following code, defining basic classes and one custom error: class CustomError < StandardError; end class Parent def raise_custom_error raise CustomError rescue StandardError puts "StandardError rescued" end end class Child < Parent def call raise_custom_error rescue CustomError puts "CustomError rescued" end end Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Now, let's examine the following method call:: Child.new.call Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode To summarize, this code does the following: Defines a CustomError class that inherits from StandardError Creates a Child class with a #call method that invokes raise_custom_error from its parent class Parent Implements exception handling in…

How to Build a Twitter Clone with Rails 8 and Turbo 8

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, hotwire, inclusive, rails, ruby, software

Hotwire, StimulusJS, and Turbo have been out for the better part of half a decade, and there have been sweeping changes in the Turbo Broadcast and Stream patterns this past year. All of this gets bundled with Rails 8, plus other new features to make development even quicker, such as SolidQueue, SolidCache, and SolidCable. Two of those three make it dead simple to get this clone up and running super quick! Note: I use Bootstrap when making something quick. You can throw an asset tag in the views/layout/application.html.erb or add Bootstrap to the rails --new command (but have yarn installed…

How the Ruby Repository Masters Fast Merges: Cutting Corners or Genius Efficiency?

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, opensource, ruby, software, softwaredevelopment

Introduction: The Ruby Repository's Stellar Track Record The "Ruby" repository is a pivotal project in the Ruby programming language community. It's a hotbed for innovation and collaboration, attracting a diverse group of contributors. But what truly sets this repository apart is how it manages to consistently keep its merge times impressively low, despite the high volume of contributions. This case study examines what the Ruby repository does right, particularly focusing on its fast merge times, and analyzes the broader implications of this efficiency on both the project and the community.

Ruby2html: Streamline Your Rails Views with Pure Ruby

stp2y0 CommentsNewscoding, community, development, engineering, html, inclusive, rails, ruby, software

https://github.com/sebyx07/ruby2html As a Rails developer, I've often found myself wrestling with the limitations of ERB templates. The constant context switching between Ruby and HTML can be jarring, and complex logic in views can quickly become unwieldy. That's why I was excited to discover Ruby2html, a gem that allows you to write your entire view logic in pure Ruby. The Power of Ruby in Your Views Ruby2html isn't just another templating engine – it's a different approach to writing views. Instead of mixing Ruby and HTML, you write your entire view in Ruby, which is then transformed into clean, semantic HTML.…

Aplicação do React com Ruby para um Design System

stp2y0 CommentsNewsbeginners, coding, community, development, engineering, inclusive, rails, react, ruby, software

Quando trabalhamos com aplicações Rails e queremos implementar um Design System utilizando React, seguimos alguns passos para garantir que tudo funcione corretamente e de forma integrada. 1. Verificação das Rotas do Rails:A primeira coisa a fazer é verificar se a rota que será utilizada já existe ou se precisará ser criada. Isso é importante porque o Design System pode ser aplicado tanto em rotas existentes quanto em novas rotas. 2. Identificação do Controller e Views:Uma vez identificada a rota, determinamos qual controller e actions estão envolvidos, além da view associada. Isso é fundamental para saber onde o novo componente React…
