Latvian Ruby community December 2025 meetup

​The Latvian Ruby community is meeting up in December 9th at the Levelpath Office in Rīga (Gustava Zemgala gatve 74, building Teodors, entrance A, 6th floor). We're excited to welcome Cristian Planas from Barcelona, who'll be presenting "Rails Scales! - Why startups fail and how you can succeed.":

​Many engineers hold the belief that Rails does not scale. Indeed, many startups have problems scaling their Rails application. At the same time, massive companies like Shopify or Zendesk run Rails monoliths at a planetary scale. How do they do it?
In this presentation, Cristian Planas, former start-up founder/CTO and Group Tech Lead for performance at Zendesk will share with you what these companies know that you don’t. He will introduce you to the scalability problems that he had in his start-up, how he failed at solving them, and what are the actual options to fix them.

​We have one presentation slot still open, so if you've been working on something interesting or have insights to share about Ruby, Rails, or related tech, reach out to us.

​Bring your questions, your experiences, and feel free to invite anyone who'd enjoy talking Ruby over an evening meetup.
