No Callbacks, No Threads & Ruby 1.9

7.26.10 by Gregg Pollack

A few weeks ago at Railsconf I approached Ilya Grigorik about recording his awesome talk in the same style that I captured John Athadye and Joe Damato’s talk. He recommended I grab him at OSCON to redo the talk as it would be a little more polished by then, so i did!

In the talk he discusses the state of the Ruby VM and why we should standardize an asynchronous Ruby stack which takes advantage of Ruby 1.9, Fibers, and non-blocking database drivers to make Ruby (and Rails) more scalable.

    Ilya is the man. This same presentation was given by him at Railsconf 2010. Someone asked “What do you do when plugins or other software within your stack have memory leaks?” His answer was(pardon the langauge, just being accurate) “Simple, we fix the fucking leaks.”
