Ruby Committers vs the World
summary
Cookpad describes running a global Rails site with about 2.7M apps? (transcript shows 270万 SP), roughly 60M monthly users and ~1.1M premium users, and it splits that monolith into microservices while sponsoring Ruby committers. It runs a Cookpad Ruby Challenge and internal trials to grow committers, tracks performance with ruby-bench and Optcarrot-style workloads, and reports measurable wins (Ruby 2.4 hash speed improves some apps). Ongoing gaps are CI coverage on Windows and more real-machine benchmarks to reach the Ruby 3: 3x speed goal.
