This is a short post to show the compatibility between Ruby on Rails and Ruby across different versions. In the process of upgrading really old applications to more modern versions of Ruby and Rails we have ran into a lot of these combinations.

Next week the Rails community is having the biggest event of the year, the Rails Conf 2019. We participated in previous editions of this conference but this time we have the honor to be on the speakers side of it. We'll be teaching you what we're best at: Rails Upgrades.

In this article I will explain how you can dual boot your application in your local environment and your continuous integration (CI) service. I hope that this will help you get ready for the next stable release of Rails.

I had to come up with a clever title because this article is about legacy Rails applications and I know that you might fall asleep by the third paragraph. Boooooring... You probably want to read about that new JavaScript framework that came out (I love that this sentence will always be true, it doesn't matter when you read this)

If you have been working with Rails for a few years, you have seen your fair share of shiny new applications, well-maintained and poorly-maintained legacy applications. This post is about Legacy Rails applications

Some time ago we wrote a couple of Tips for Writing Fast Rails. It was about time we wrote part two so here it is!

We recently spoke with Ryan Findley, Principal at Neomind Labs. We worked with his team to execute a Rails upgrade from 2.3 to 4.2 on one of their applications.

We recently collaborated with Power Home Remodeling on a Rails upgrade for their self-described “monolith CRM/ERP application” and were able to speak to them about their experience with Ombu Labs.

With the release of Rails 5.2 just around the corner (Rails 5.2 RC1 is already available!), we will be taking a look at some of the upcoming changes to the ActiveRecord::Dirty module. If you're running Rails 5.1, you may have already seen some of the deprecation warnings related to the API changes contained in it. Most of them are behavior changes, and there are some new additions as well.

To better understand these modifications, we'll take a look at sample projects in Rails 5.1 and Rails 5.2.

A previous post covered some general tips to take into account for this migration. This article will try to go a bit more in depth. We will first go from 3.2 to 4.0, then to 4.1 and finally to 4.2. Depending on the complexity of your app, a Rails upgrade can take anywhere from one week for a single developer, to a few months for two developers.
