Busy weekend! Just upgraded my longest-running Rails app (started on Rails 4) from Rails 7.2 to Rails 8.

And published v1100 of the app to production! 🥳

Super smooth upgrade.

Only small inconvenience that I had to dig into - manually add "net-protocol" for "net-smtp"

Usually running "rails app:update" creates a lot of conflicts in my ENV files.

Exploring the @bullettrainco codebase, I found this line in each ENV initializer.

As of now, I set my configs at the end of the file, instead of overriding defaults. Easier to upgrade & see changes

In the life of a man, there comes a moment when he needs to scale his search

Not handling petabytes of data? No need for Elasticsearch

Typesense is powerful, open-source, easy to sync with Rails & deploy

Here's how I add full-text typo-tolerant search server to Rails

How to abstract, store, edit global app settings?

I think gem rails-settings cached is great:

✅ one tiny db table

✅ admin UI

✅ define fields, validations, defaults

✅ you can use it before Rails is initialized

See how I use it:
