I've been building Flóðgátt, a replacement streaming API server for Mastodon. The goal is to cut RAM usage and make hosting an instance that much cheaper.

So far, we've cut RAM for the streaming server of an empty instance by ~94.2%

The next task is to make sure that lower RAM usage can scale without other issues (e.g., CPU).

To do that, I need a test server with enough connections to see how Flóðgátt performs under load.

That's where y'all come in: can you please follow @codesections ?

Hello! I'm a #programmer by trade, and a serial hobbyist. I use #rubyonrails in my side project. I would call it a business, but I've yet to be paid for it. I'm interested in prototyping ideas, and in learning #ruby best practices!

Some of my serial hobbies include singing, playing drums and guitar, drone racing, rock climbing, knitting, dancing at weddings, running, and visiting breweries!

Hey #ruby folk ... I'm trying to trigger an autoscaler for testing purposes. Anybody have a simple cpu-pegging method handy per chance?

has anyone upgraded a rails 5.x app to rails 6 beta?

I thought the javascript assets were going to be required to be moved to webpacker, but it looks like they still work via asset pipeline

is the change that webpack is the default for new apps, but sprockets will continue working for existing apps?

So where does one post Ruby jobs in 2019?
