In this episode, we look at adding Tailwind CSS to our Rails 7 application as well as applying a component library on top to add simplicity and consistency to our views.

The TailwindUI library provides static styled HTML examples, but this can be difficult to translate into a Rails application. In this episode, we take a look at one of the calendar examples and make it interactive with displaying days that have events as well as returning events on selected days.

Continuing from the previous episode, we look at speeding up the build times with a remote builder, continued warning about accessories, implementing background jobs, setting up the infrastructure for background workers and diving more into the Kamal (MRSK) commands.

In this episode, we'll dive into ActiveSupport::Notifications to perform simple metrics. We'll then use this technique to troubleshoot and pinpoint where slow running lines of code are. It can be a great debugging technique when trying to deal with slow requests or functions.

I use Docker every day and it has make my development workflow much simpler. I don't have to deal with conflicts or issues with macOS since everything is containerized. Before, I would fight my host operating system with mismatched dependencies and configuration problems, but using Docker during my development workflow has simplified things. In this episode, we'll run through how I use Docker on Rails applications and some of the tricks I use to solve the nuances of this approach.
