Ruby & Coffee for all! https://speakerdeck.com/heliocola 2015-06-15 14:19:34 -0400 Can you recall a world without having to remember passwords? If Passkeys becomes widely available, that world is a few steps away in our future. Instead of remembering passwords, we will use our biometrics, already available in our phones, laptops, and desktops, and public key encryption! To a future with no passwords!

Let’s get our hands on a piece of hardware, understand what it takes to setup one up, install a couple of libraries, Ruby, RVM, RBENV, a GUI. Let’s get a couple of sensors: motion, temperature, humidity, tsunami, ectoplasm and see if we detect a cool thing or two. Let's discuss how we can use what we know about Rails to explore things on a RaspberryPi.

The stats exposed by the Garbage Collector since Ruby v2.1 caught my attention and pushed me to dig deeper. Both Ruby 2.1 and 2.2 brought great performance improvements. From a practical point of view, we will discuss how to use the GC to enhance the performance of your software, from configuration parameters to different approaches on how you can change them yourself.

There will be, however, a few special users out there waiting for your app. They also found you on Google, signs up, logins on a daily basis, use it, and use it. Importantly, these special users had allocated the same amount of resources as the ‘kinda lazy’ ones. To scale in the scenario describe requires a change in approach: Special tenants get Special treatment, while ‘kinda lazy’ tenants get default treatment (and shared resources). In this talk I will describe a few options that are available for this problem.
