Hey there SD Ruby. I realized belatedly that I hadn't invited you all up to the workshop I'm giving at LA RubyConf this week. For those of you lucky enough to not know me, I'm an SD Ruby alumnus, best known for such award wining events as "New Relic buys free beer for everybody" and "that time I Reply-To-All spammed the list with a job application", ahh, good times.
So you should come up to Burbank and listen to Bjorn Freeman-Benson and I yap about Rails performance this Friday. What's that? You want me to sweeten the pot a bit? How about FREE! http://www.larubyconf.com/workshops/11 Bjorn and I are making the treacherous journey down from New Relic Development HQ in lovely Portland, we've got a classroom, a sample app, and all day on Friday to chat about app performance. We'll be using New Relic to show some data, but don't worry, we're both engineers and it's not a sales pitch. In the past three years we have grown our own little Rails app (rpm.newrelic.com) from less than 1,000 requests a minute to over 14,000 , and we've learned a number of lessons the hard way. This is going to be hands-on, so please bring your laptop and a working Ruby development environment. We'll be using GitHub and Heroku, so even better if you already are familiar and signed up for those (you should be anyway). We will also be talking about general performance tuning concepts and aren't afraid to talk specifics about individual technologies. So if you have questions about your own app or environment, bring 'em! As I mentioned, the workshop itself is free. The conference isn't (but it's a great conference and is worth going to). You can register for just the workshop (or just the conference) if you don't feel up to the whole gauntlet.
