Rails 8.0 beta is here!
From a new authentication system to ditching Redis with Solid Queue & Cache, this release is all about reducing bloat, improving security, and speeding up your development.
More details about what's new:
#RailsUpgrades
Rails upgrade alerts:
Rails 7.2 was released over the weekend, and the Rails maintenance policy calls for the end of support for many of your applications.
Depending on the version of Rails you're running, you could be facing potential security risks or losing bug fix support as early as Oct. 1.
Dates to know: https://link.testdouble.com/yfh
#RailsUpgrades are a critical investment to protect platform stability, prevent security breaches and enable future releases.
They can also feel like a nuisance: They usually take longer than expected, and they pull you away from day-to-day work and feature development.
Worse, along the way, they can cause unanticipated breaks. 😫
We can help make Rails upgrades seamless, so you + your team can continue to deliver critical features and ship new products.
One year ago today, staff software consultant Ali Ibrahim took the stage at RailsConf!
In his RailsConf talk, he shared a strategy so your team can:
- continue feature work
- deliver predictable results
- seamlessly jump into the next upgrade (because there's always a next upgrade!)
