When you are using Sidekiq to handle asynchronous jobs, some times there are exceptions and jobs failing, and I say sometimes because your environment is probably perfect, there is no lag, all services your jobs depend on are always on and responsive, and you probably write better code than most other developers 😛 otherwise it…

Rails from “zero” to kubernetes – ingress reverse proxy
Following up on the ‘Rails from “zero” to kubernetes’ series, we’ll see today how to expose your service to the internet, since I think we all agree that mapping directly the port of your rails app to the internet is not a really wise choice.
Kubernetes has a “simple but works” solution called ingress, ingress is an HTTP proxy, it will work as a reverse proxy for HTTP and HTTPS for any service that exposes one one port.
Rails from “zero” to kubernetes – horizontal autoscaling
Following up on our previous post, we’ll now make kubernetes work for us, and automatically scale our application.

How to create a request scope for your rails application
Some time ago I missed one of the cool features from the time I worked with JavaEE, that was a request scope for some variables.
I know the instance variables on controllers do a great job simulating it, but I needed to access context in a completely different part of the application, that wasn’t always called from controllers, variables that should be scoped to that request.
So I thought, I could create something like that for my rails app.
