Today's November #chicagoRuby at Cisco has passed 70 RSVPs, making it the most wanted meetup since 2019 🥳
I continue to receive inquiries about late registrations and walk-ins. Unfortunately, due to the security requirements of the building, we won't be able to process them. That said, you still have a great alternative to join us online via Webex (from Cisco): https://cisco.webex.com/cisco/j.php?MTID=mcd0128dc5d3e50260007505c883b98c3.
Join us in celebrating this significant milestone for the Ruby community in Chicago 🎉
October’s #ChicagoRuby meetup — Talk #1:
@pushcx , creator of Recheck, showed why checking your data regularly matters more than trying to keep it perfect.
“Shipping a query you already wrote, and running it forever, is the best trade-off.”
October’s #ChicagoRuby meetup - Talk #2:
"From schema-based multi-tenancy to a single schema with UUIDs" by Prarthana Shiva @ NexHealth
“Startups outgrow early choices. It’s okay — design the exit ramp, then take it one table at a time.”
📢 #ChicagoRuby #meetup tonight at 6 PM Prism Spaces (Wicker Park)!
Two database-focused talks:
1️⃣ Perfect Database is Too Expensive ( @pushcx )
2️⃣ Schema-based Multi-tenancy → Single Schema ( Prarthana Shiva )
