Building and Managing a Ruby Infrastructure
summary
Starts from a brittle single repo, moves through plugin sprawl to a service-oriented stack of about 20 gems, with a central primordial gem installed on every developer workstation to generate projects (Bones), expose common rake tasks, and enforce dependency checks. Adds CruiseControl CI that builds and pushes gems to an internal gem server, Capistrano deployments that resolve gem deps at deploy time, a DBA‑vetted SQL patch workflow in SVN, a Quartz Java bridge for scheduled jobs, RPM packaging and a yum group so new hosts reach baseline in under 90 seconds.
