Your Rails app reruns the same queries and renders the same HTML on every request. Rails has 5 built-in caching strategies and most devs use maybe 1.

Russian doll caching is the one that changes everything. Nest caches, add touch: true, only the changed record re-renders.

Full tutorial with code.

AWS has 200+ services. Most companies use about 15. The same ones show up in every project: EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS, DynamoDB, API Gateway, CloudFront, SQS, SNS, CloudWatch.
That handles 80% of everything. Wrote a guide covering just the ones that matter.

Here’s a tough one...

I once asked a team if their RDS backups were encrypted. They assumed AWS handled it automatically.
They were wrong.

Not everything is encrypted by default, which means your data might be sitting in plain text if you don’t flip the switch.

Turn on encryption at rest for S3, RDS, EBS, and enforce TLS/HTTPS in transit. It’s one of those “set it and forget it” moves that makes all the difference.

Using AI tools in the legal field can be a good productive booster... if done right. If not used correctly, you could send your clients' data where you shouldn't - where you have not control of what happens to it later.

A client once left SSH wide open on their servers because “we just needed quick access.”
Within weeks, their logs showed thousands of random connection attempts from around the world.
That’s what happens when your bouncer lets everyone into the club.
Lock your security groups down to trusted IPs, use a VPN for remote access, and run regular audits. The internet doesn’t need a spare key to your servers.

AI governance doesn't sound as exciting as building products with AI, but it's still important. And extra important if you're working with legal data.
