Today's #JCON Content Board Spotlight: Markus Kett (MicroStream)

Markus brings benchmarks over buzzwords. With projects like EclipseStore and #Serializer in his toolkit, he spots interop/tooling gaps early and backs sessions that make #Java apps #simpler and #faster.

I've been continuing the work on my Ruby JSON serialization gem. While there are still a few more features that I'm considering, based on user needs, the benchmarks I've done are showing extremely promising results.

It's at least 2x faster than all other Ruby-based alternatives. Shout out to Panko Serializer for being _slightly_ faster in some cases with its C bindings.

If anyone wants to give it a whirl, head to https://github.com/spellbook-technology/transmutation.

Version 0.4.0 of the Barley #ruby #serializer for #rails ActiveModel is out

The killer feature in this version is the use of dry-types to typecheck your attributes !!!

Also added API documentation.
