Kamal (MRSK) deploys web apps anywhere from bare metal to cloud VMs using Docker with zero downtime. In this episode, we will set up a Digital Ocean infrastructure with a Load Balancer, Virtual Machines, and a PostgreSQL database. We'll use Kamal (MRSK) to provision and deploy our Rails application to the Virtual Machines.

Amazon's newest hosting service, App Runner, makes it fairly easy to deploy web services. In this episode, we take a look at some of the issues with App Runner as well as how we can deploy a Docker container image to the service. We also dive into building Docker images from an Apple M1 computer and pushing to Elastic Container Registry.

Continuing on from the previous episode, we look at creating a Docker Swarm cluster and using Traefik to load balance and route requests to various applications. Using this and CloudFlare proxies, we're able to create and deploy hobby applications in minutes.

A broad look into the Apple M1 from the perspective of a Ruby Developer. We look at a lot of the different aspects; Docker, asdf Ruby, Visual Studio Code, and more.

Ever wonder how some companies implement rate limiting based on the plan that you've signed up for? In this episode, we'll use Docker Hub as a case study and implement this feature within our Rails application. We'll do this by creating a custom Rack Middleware to track and throttle the requests.
