Locking It Down with Ruby & Lockfiles
summary
Argues that Ruby’s strength is practical specifics not slogans and shows how Bundler backtracks to resolve version conflicts across the dependency tree, how Gem packaging and publishing is a tiny predictable workflow producing gems hosted on RubyGems/S3, and how both Bundler and RubyGems are written in Ruby so the tooling is directly debuggable. Demonstrates that bundle install produces a Gemfile.lock with concrete resolved versions and that these tools routinely produce reproducible installs for multiple apps on one machine
