10 Seconds to 100ms; Optimising a Legacy Endpoint

Agenda

18:30 〜 19:00 Doors open

Grab a drink and catch up with your fellow Rubyists.

19:00 ~ 19:05 Opening

We'll kick things off by welcoming everyone and giving a short introduction of the event.

19:05 〜 19:35 10 seconds to 100ms; optimising a legacy endpoint - Brett Tanner

Brett's first task after joining a new team was improving the performance of a legacy endpoint which often took ~10 seconds to respond and blocked rendering. 'Surely this will be easy' he thought to himself, 'just remove some unnecessary data, optimise the json formatting and move on'. One month and one incident later the endpoint's performance was in fact improved, but at what cost...

Profile

Brett is a full stack web developer currently working for Moneytree, a fintech company based in Tokyo, Japan. Prior to Moneytree he worked as the sole web developer for a chain of English schools; designing, developing and deploying full stack web applications like an event registration site and learning management system.

Responding to a Rails Security Incident - Paul McMahon

Unfortunately the talk Responding to a Rails Security Incident has been canceled as the presenter is unwell, we wish Paul a swift recovery!

19:35 〜 20:00 Rubyist show and tell

Do you have a cool snippet of Ruby code that you'd like to share, but it doesn't warrant an entire presentation? A challenge with your Ruby application you've been struggling with, and would like some advice? A helpful library or tool you've come across? This is your chance to share it.

For those who'd like to participate, you'll have up to five minutes. There's no need to create a slide deck, but you'll be able to use the projector if you have a code sample or something else to share. While we'll ask you if you'd like to participate when signing up, this is just to gauge interest, and you can change your mind on the day of the event.

20:00 〜 21:00 Open Networking

Discuss the presentations, the upcoming RubyKaigi or anything else Ruby related with the other attendees.
