February 6, 2026 Lessons from Kaigi on Rails 2025 on SSE and Async Modern Rails applications increasingly depend on external systems: third-party APIs, background services, data pipelines, andβmore recentlyβAI and LLM inference. While Rails itself continues to evolve in performance and concurrency, I/O latency remains largely unavoidable in many real-world scenarios. At Kaigi on Rails … Continue reading Tackling Inevitable I/O Latency in Rails
Validating a Native Ruby Gem on Ruby 4.0.1 February 5, 2026 Notes from the ruby-libgd 0.2.4 release With the release of Ruby 4.0, native extensions deserve a bit more attention than usual.

Not because it introduced a new framework, or a clever optimization, but because it articulated something many of us feel while building products with Ruby on … Continue reading Breaking Rules to Ship Products: Lessons from RubyConf Thailand
Rendering Incremental Points on Maps with Ruby and Rails January 30, 2026 When working with maps in Ruby or Ruby on Rails applications, most solutions assume that all geospatial data must be prepared upfront β usually as GeoJSON layers. While this works well for static datasets, it becomes inefficient when dealing with event-driven data such … Continue reading Rendering Incremental Points on Maps with Ruby and Rails
Making Maps with Ruby January 29, 2026 Static and animated cartography built directly from GeoJSON For a long time, generating maps from code meant working inside heavy ecosystems designed primarily for analysis.
