About this episode
In this episode of Remote Ruby, Jason and Chris catch up with a discussion on setting up a home office with new furniture, organizing hardware with a 3D printer, and dealing with nostalgia for old video games.
Then they delve into technical issues faced with the Postgres database on DigitalOcean, migrating to Crunchy Data, and adjusting web concurrency settings in Rails. They also share their experiences experimenting with Kamal for server deployment, the complexities of AWS configuration, and using DigitalOcean and Hetzner for app instances.
The conversation shifts to performance and error monitoring with Honeybadger Insights, the challenges of using Docker, and the potential of Kamal in streamlining deployments. They also touch upon the convenience of Passenger for beginners, and the key differences between Passenger and Sidekiq in terms of usage and business model.
The episode wraps up with a discussion on the importance of investing in a good office chair and mentions the Honeybadger integration for monitoring periodic jobs.
