SF Ruby Meetup, June @ PlanetScale 🪐
Hey, Bay Area builders and tinkerers!
This month we're hosted by PlanetScale and their new HQ! PlanetScale's main API is a Rails monolith, and they ship https://github.com/planetscale/planetscale_rails for zero-downtime migrations. Sam's (CEO) demo at the SF Ruby Conference last November was a cool preview. PlanetScale for Postgres just hit GA, let's talk!
✨ New format
Let's try something different: fewer talks, more connecting. Two great talks, followed by a full round of intros, then we split into small interest-based circles so you actually get to know the people you're spending the time with.
