Launching Today: the all-new Rails Performance Workshop
|
|
After two years of preparation, the Rails Performance Workshop is now available as an online workshop, that you can take solo or as a team.
I'm really excited about this. I gave this workshop in-person to hundreds of people and dozens of companies over the last 2 years, and it's now available for you and your team to take any time.
Although this change was of course precipitated by COVID, I think this is actually the best format of the workshop yet for a number of reasons:
- Bigger than ever. This workshop covers material I was never able to cover in in-person workshops due to time constraints, such as scaling your application or profiling tests and boot times.
- Recorded is better than live. I've learned that people don't learn very well at live events. Everyone learns at different speeds, but live events force everyone to go at the same speed. This means I either leave advanced learners bored or newbies in the dust. Recorded video means you can skip ahead or rewind as much as you need to.
- More hands-on material. This workshop is designed almost like an exercise plan. It's designed to be completed over 4 weeks, with you emerging after that time with a faster Rails app than you came in with. The Workshop contains over 4x the amount of hands-on exercises, labs and handouts that were ever contained in the Complete Guide to Rails Performance.
Another thing I'm really excited about is that it's delivered via the command line. You can try out the client right now:
$ gem install rpw
$ rpw list
This new CLI format means that:
- The entire course is delivered via free-as-in-freedom software (the client and license server are GPL licensed)
- You can work through the Workshop completely offline
- It's easier than ever to get involved in the hands-on exercises, because you're already on a CLI
If you have an entire team that's interested in taking the workshop together, I offer two add-on services:
- 4 weeks Guided Training: Includes 4 hour-long calls with me, unlimited code review on any performance-related changes for 4 weeks, and a basic review by me of your entire application. I'll will also sit in your team's Slack/chat for rapid Q&A.
- Consulting: For 1-4 weeks, I'll embed full-time with your team to improve the performance and scale of your Rails application.
I hope you enjoy this new product - it's the first one I've launched in almost 4 years!
If you're interested, hop on over to buy now.
Until next time,
-Nate
