RubyConf TH 2019 - Keynote talk by Charles Nutter - Scalable Applications with JRuby

I work on JRuby, the fastest and most scalable way to run Ruby web applications. This past year we’ve continued work on better database support, more Ruby optimizations, and tighter integration with recent JDK releases. This talk will show how to get started with JRuby.

JRuby is the fastest and most scalable way to run web applications built with Ruby or Rails. This past year we’ve continued work on better database support, more Ruby optimizations, and tighter integration with recent JDK releases. In this talk, I’ll cover:

Getting started with JRuby, building new applications or migrating existing ones.
Things to know about scaling JRuby, including tuning flags and deployment patterns.
Future plans for maintaining Ruby and Rails compatibility.
A call-to-action for anyone who’d like to help keep JRuby moving forward.
