Diving into Custom Exceptions in Ruby
Finding information in logs is a painful activity. Developers often blame themselves for not including more information about errors or how to search and filter. If you are not using any monitoring tools that provide this, including meaningful data could save you in the foreseeable future.

Stream Updates to Your Users with LiteCable for Ruby on Rails
LiteCable is tailored for vertical scaling by a tight integration of components. If you extract maximum performance from the SQLite engine, the limits of this approach are pushed a lot further. Once you observe that your latencies start to explode, though, I would suggest researching options like AnyCable, which inherently provide better strategies for horizontal scaling.

Using Tailscale on Lambda for a Live Development Proxy
So far, everything is working great with our new LambdaCable gem. Eventually it will be a drop-in adapter for ActionCable and join the ranks of other popular alternatives like AnyCable. To bring the project to completion faster, I needed feedback loops that were much faster than deploying code to the cloud. I needed a development proxy! One where my Rails application would receive events from both Lambda's Function URLs and the WebSocket events from API Gateway. Illustrated below with a demo video.

Action cable or AJAX? Performance and solution - what to choose?
Action cable is probably what you're looking for. If you start having performance issues, AnyCable is a more performatic option that requires almost no changes in your ruby code.

Kubing Rails: stressless Kubernetes deployments with Kuby
I decided to give it a try for the AnyCable demo application, which requires deploying not only a Rails app, but also additional services for AnyCable.

Async Ruby
I think what's being talked about here is the back end implementation for ActionCable. By default it uses ruby threads to push over open web sockets. There's at least one production quality drop in implementation (https://anycable.io/) that address the default scalability issues you'll have with ActionCable. The async support would seem to allow one to go much further with default rails before needing to move to something more performant.
