 Special Guest: Karthik Gaekwad Episode Summary In this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panelists speak with Karthik Gaekwad, who helped build the Oracle Kubernetes Engine. The panelists discuss the naming of Ruby as the Server-Side Programming Language of the Year in 2018, beating out PHP and Java. Karthik talks about incorporating Ruby into Oracle. His team uses Ruby in both development and operations, and having a common language has increased their efficiency. The panelists discuss the shift from constant servers to more volatile servers that can make provisions on the fly. Karthik explains the benefits of using Oracle Cloud Native over other services. Oracle places a lot of emphasis on helping startups by giving them more computing power than other companies. Karthik talks about the merits of using Kubernetes in testing and production, and encourages those interested in using Kubernetes to jump in and start learning about it. For startups that want to use Kubernetes but lack a specialist, Karthik suggests letting a cloud service (like Oracle) manage the servers. Finally, Karthik tells listeners how to get started using Oracle Cloud, namely:

1. Go to cloud.oracle.com
2. Click the green “Try For Free” button to create your account
3. Go into the Oracle Cloud Console and start exploring
4. People who sign up get $300 in free credits

Joined by Special Guest: Stefan WintermeyerEpisode summaryStefan Wintermeyer, a german consultant, discusses his recent blog post “Rails needs Active Deployment”. He goes on to explain that this isn’t meant for rails deployment “rockstars” or Heroku, this is for normal developers who need an easier way to deploy their rails applications. Stefan Wintermeyer addresses the suggestions of using Docker. This begins a discussion of the different services that can be used and the disconnects found in many of them. Stefan Wintermeyer brings up the unfortunate truth of how many new developers give up because of the difficulty of the last step in rails. The panel discusses the difficulty of finding a perfect fit for all applications and share the different solutions they’ve tried in many services. This sparks a lively discussion on what a community wide solution might look like and what that might entail.Links

Joined by special guest: Maciej MensfeldEpisode SummaryIn this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panelists talk with Maciej Mensfeld, Senior Software Engineer at Castle Intelligence and the creator of the Karafka framework. Maciej explains to listeners the Karafka and Kafka frameworks and their advantages, the differences between Karafka and gems like DeliveryBoy and Racecar, certain use cases where Kafka can be used efficiently such as for fast data processing (messages at the rate of 50k per second), normalizing the request stream, buffering data and event-driven architecture. They discuss the framework’s contrast with respect to a traditional queue system and comparison to different languages.Maciej talks about some problems faced in the development stage and answers questions related to Kafka features such as strong ordering and error handling with examples. He also explains the procedure of using a consolidated gem with Docker containers, which is a part of his project set to release in April 2019. They discuss some specific errors in Ruby 2.6.0 and finally, he gives details about the Ruby users group based in Krakow, Poland and their meetups.Links

Special Guest: Tung NguyenEpisode SummaryIn this episode of Ruby Rogues, the panelists talk with Tung Nguyen, President and Founder of BoltOps AWS Cloud Infrastructure Consultancy, a Bay Area based DevOps infrastructure consultancy. Tung is also the creator of Ruby on Jets. Jets is a Ruby Serverless Framework, allowing you to to create serverless applications with Ruby. It includes everything needed to build and deploy applications to AWS Lambda.Tung explains how Jets works and that even before AWS Lambda supported Ruby, Jets used a shim to run Ruby. The shim was written in a language that is natively supported by AWS Lambda and called out to Ruby. Tung describes this process using the dream in dream concept in the movie Inception. Since AWS Lambda has started supporting Ruby, Jets has since moved to the official AWS version of Ruby.They discuss Tung’s decision to open source Jets and his end goal with it. Tung explains he created Jets because he needed it, he wanted to run Ruby functions without managing a server. So by building tools like Jets he is able to help his clients and his consulting company. By open sourcing them, he is able to give back to the community.Tung talks about the development process of Jets and explains that he has already re-written Jets a couple of times. Finally, for people who want to find out more about Jets, Tung directs them to the documentation and support links on the Jets website and the YouTube videos he has posted.Links
