This last RailsConf was incredible!!! I had an amazing time, and got to see so many friends, old and new, and it's only possible because of the diligent work of so many people behind the scenes, a lot like Rails itself! ❤️

Peter ZhuI converted my RubyKaigi 2024 talk "Finding Memory Leaks in the Ruby Ecosystem" into a blog post.
In this blog post, I introduce RUBY_FREE_AT_EXIT, a new feature in Ruby 3.3 that @HParker and I worked on.

Finding Memory Leaks in the Ruby Ecosystem
Until recently, Ruby lacked a mechanism for detecting native-level memory leaks from within Ruby and native gems. This meant that it was hard to analyze Ruby applications that suffered from memory leaks, causing them to consume increasing amounts of memory until the system runs out and terminates the application. In this blog post, we’ll be looking at the RUBY_FREE_AT_EXIT feature, which allows memory leak checkers to find memory leaks in Ruby and in native gems.
Kasper Timm HansenIt's so much fun to chime in on a thread with a suggestion and have it immediately click for someone else! Hat-tip @ufuk

Async callbacks as a first class citizen
I’ve been exploring a version of this over in GitHub - kaspth/active_job-performs: ActiveJob::Performs adds the `performs` macro to set up jobs by convention. In ActiveJob::Performs I’m making a convention of passing a model as the first argument to a job and calling an instance method on it. This is an internal pattern Active Storage and Action Mailbox that I’m hoisting to Rails apps in general. So with my gem, your example can be rewritten as: class Recording < ApplicationRecord after_cre...
Youssef BoulkaidAs I'm still riding the @railsconf high, I wrote up my recap of the conference here: https://yboulkaid.com/2024/05/15/railsconf.html
Huge thanks to @andycroll, @ufuk @adarsh and everyone at @rubycentral for putting this together, and to @noelrap for reviewing my talk!
Mike DalessioI'm still coming down from an amazing #RailsConf last week.
Every talk I saw was about building something with Rails.
On Hack Day, I helped nine developers contribute to open source projects.
The hallway track was bustling, I reconnected with a ton of talented people.
Huge shoutout to @rubycentral, @ufuk, @andycroll, and the program committee for executing flawlessly.

2025 is the final RailsConf as we know it, per https://rubycentral.org/news/anewearforrubycentralevents/
I have been kinda of two minds on conferences - I've enjoyed a lot that I've attended/spoken at, but they are also in that sour-spot of being extremely expensive for people to attend yet still having to rely on volunteers for almost all the content and operations. Regional conferences should ameliorate that somewhat.
A New Era for Ruby Central Events
A special announcement for the Ruby community We normally announce next year’s RailsConf location at the end of the conference, but this time we are going to do something a little different and share two pieces of news: We are delighted to announce that we want to involve you
@railsconf I'm really excited to see what the caring and talented folks at Ruby Central will do next. Sounds like they have big plans for supporting meetups and regional conferences! ❤️
