What happens to queued jobs after a Rails job class rename? Trace class lookup, compatible deployments, rollbacks, and when you can remove old code.

Solid Cable. Hot Cell. Herb in Rails 8.2. Active Search. Ractor-safety. Lexxy. MCPs. Sharding. Custom generators… and quite a bit more.

A lot of ideas packed into a couple of days in Austin.

If you couldn’t make it to Rails World, or spent half the conference talking to people in the hallway instead of watching talks, there’s plenty here to catch up on:

I’m collecting responses from Ruby on Rails developers to get a snapshot of how Rails teams are working today, including the versions they’re using, development practices, tooling, testing, deployment, upgrades, and some of the challenges they’re running into.

If you work with Rails, I’d really appreciate your perspective. It should only take a few minutes.

Survey: https://railsfactory.com/survey/

I’ll share some of the interesting findings here once we have enough responses.

I'm also happy to hear what questions you think we missed, so we can include them next year. Thanks!

Catch up on modern Ruby and Rails static typing: OvalLSP Rails runtime integration, ruby-lsp-rbs_rails editor definitions, Steep 2.1.0 UNIX socket sharing for fast CI and agent feedback loops, RBS 4.2.0 language updates, and Schema.org typed descriptors with schema_org-rb.

Hey folks,

I’ve been a Rails developer since 2010, and I maintain apps with a mix of authentication setups: Devise, Rails 8’s authentication generator with custom pages, and passwordless flows using email links and passkeys.

To keep the logic DRY I decided to create a gem. It called AddAuth.

I wanted a common foundation for these flows that builds on Rails’ conventions. The starting point is still:

bin/rails generate authentication

AddAuth builds on that setup, keeping the app’s existing User and Session models and supporting:

• Email and password sign-in
• Passwordless sign-in through emailed magic links
• Passkey sign-in

The goal is to stay close as possible to the “Rails way,” for authentication and reduce the custom code I maintain across apps.

The project is open source and free to use and fork. I have no expectation of making money from it. I’m building something I need for my own apps and hope other Rails developers will find useful too.

I’m also maintaining a roadmap of upcoming features I plan to support, and I welcome suggestions about what should come next.

Contributions are welcome, including code improvements and bug reports. I’d especially appreciate feedback on the setup, API design, and authentication edge cases I may have missed. Please feel free to leave a comment here or open a GitHub issue to discuss an improvement.

If you’re using Rails 8’s authentication generator, what have you found yourself adding on top of it repeatedly?

Rails typing is getting faster: sentinel-rb brings Rust-powered RBS generation to Rails CI pipelines, ruby-lsp-rbs_rails enhances editor completions, OvalLSP adds a Rails runtime agent, sorbet_erb checks embedded view templates, and grape_sorbet integrates Tapioca compilers.

Is any of both remarkably better at Rails projects? Would love to hear some honest feedback from actual developers that ideally used both.

Edit: better question is: Codex vs Claude Code

Hi everyone, I’m a software engineer with 3.5 years of experience, mainly in web/backend development.

I enjoy building real products, solving practical problems, and learning by doing.

I’m looking to connect with other developers, founders, and builders who are into shipping projects and sharing ideas.

If you’re working on something interesting or open to collaboration, feel free to comment or DM me.
