Three things that make a senior Ruby developer (and how to get there)

Posted on 2019-05-25 by Rodrigo Urubatan

This is a very opinionated post, dealing mostly with what I think makes a senior developer, the main focus will be Ruby because that is my main language today, but most of the things I’m commenting here are completely independent of programming language. Probably lots of people have a different idea of what is a…

Simple and easy way to use ActiveRecord without Rails

Posted on 2019-05-21 by Rodrigo Urubatan

After a question in my other post about how to use sidekiq without rails, I decided to also post here how to use ActiveRecord without Rails, the basic idea is the same, we’ll start with an empty directory and create the files as we need.

Do not trust ActiveRecord data consistency validations, delegate that to the database

Posted on 2018-10-15 by Rodrigo Urubatan

Of course you can still use AR validations, that is not my point.  But data consistency related validations should not trust AR for that, for example, if you have a “unique” constraint, and you are just trusting the database, it is really easy to break the DB consistency if for some reason you have a…

What do you need to know to put your app in production in Ruby, Python, .NET, Java, …

Posted on 2018-09-14 by Rodrigo Urubatan

Ok, this is just my opinion, and if you are a junior developer you do not need to know how to put anything in production, but it is your responsibility to learn before you get promoted to anything else than Junior. And I’m not talking just about Ruby developers here, any developer that is not…

Have you ever needed to provide an “advanced search” to your users?

Posted on 2018-09-05 by Rodrigo Urubatan

Working on a project some time ago, and my boss wanted to have an advanced search, where the users could write the search, adding fields, values, like you can do with google, but tailored for our application. In google you can do things like searching for all posts from sobrecodigo.com that have Ruby in the…

The easiest way to use sidekiq without Rails

Posted on 2018-08-30 by Rodrigo Urubatan

Sidekiq is usually my “goto” backend processing engine when I’m writing a Rails application. Recently I had to write a small app that was not a web app, so it didn’t needed Rails, but I’m very comfortable with Ruby, and decided to write the background processing app, or a small “daemon” as we called it…

Rails Quick Tip: URL Validation for ActiveRecord

Posted on 2018-08-29 by Rodrigo Urubatan

I did a quick search, and didn’t find an easy way to validate URL fields. I tried writing my own regular expressions but they kept getting more complex every time, and I do not really like to write complex regexps (If I liked it I would be programming in PERL 😛 ) So I decided…

How to deploy your dockerized rails app to AWS

Posted on 2018-08-22 by Rodrigo Urubatan

Back to docker and Rails, we’ve talked some time ago about how to dockerise your rails app, using docker and docker-compose to share a development environment configuration. To do that, we’ll use ECS service, that is the Elastic Container Service, this will allow us to build a docker container image, upload it to an ECS…

ActiveJob and declarative exception handling in your background workers

Posted on 2018-08-10 by Rodrigo Urubatan

Rails 5.2.1 was recently released, and released and it brought some improvements to ActiveJob (most of it was already in 5.1 really, the only thing added on 5.2 was the callback on discard_on), but lets keep in the subject here 😀 Recently I published a very basic post about ActiveJob, and these declarative exception handling…
