State of the RubyGems
summary
Ruby Central reports concrete progress: rubygems.org runs with no full outages since funding began, handles ~20,000 RPS normally and spikes to 225k RPS, and serves billions of downloads. Work shipped includes dependency resolver improvements (PubGrub), bundler and rubygems releases, MFA and passkey support, S3-backed endpoints, admin tooling, and checksum and trusted-publishing plans. Costs and staffing numbers are explicit and roadmap items list measurable security and developer-experience projects.
