Scaling Ruby Applications: Challenges, Solutions and Best Practices
summary
An eight‑year roadmap maps an online‑store through five project life stages and gives concrete practices that scale: start with RSpec and RuboCop, Docker Compose and GitHub Actions for CI, add Datadog/Honeybadger and Simple Rails encryption with regular key rotation, and enforce namespaces and service objects to avoid fat models. Introduce playbooks, identical staging, feature toggles and on‑call rotation, then split via domains, Terraform/Pulumi and read replicas, use Elasticsearch/Neo4j/DynamoDB/Redis for specific loads, and remove toggles after release.
