The future of full-stack Rails: Turbo Morph Drive—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
The “getting-back-into-full-stack” trend in web development communities is gaining more traction. Frontend frameworks are trying to embrace server components, htmx is the new black, and LiveView and LiveWire are conquering Elixir and Laravel applications, respectively. And, of course, Ruby on Rails has its newer offspring, Hotwire. Let’s explore how far you can go with the full-stack approach in R

How to GraphQL with Ruby, Rails, Active Record, and no N+1—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
You work on a mature web application that cleanly separates backend and frontend. The server-side code, written in Ruby, is mostly responsible for translating HTTP requests into SQL statements (with the help of an ORM) through rich and well-documented API. You choose GraphQL over REST to streamline your endpoints, but your database is not happy with all the extra queries. After much searching, you
Logidze 1.0: Active Record, Postgres, Rails, and time travel—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
Under the hood, Logidze is based on just two ideas: Use database triggers to track changes. No Active Record callbacks (can be confusing and hard to maintain), Ruby or Rails code (not too fast), just plain old PostgreSQL triggers (fast and robust). MySQL is not supported yet, but it’s a matter of one solid PR. Keep the changelog next to the record data (in a log_data Postgres’ JSONB column). If yo
System of a test: Proper browser testing in Ruby on Rails—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
The Ruby community is passionate about testing. We have plenty of testing libraries, there are hundreds of blog posts on the topic, we even had a dedicated podcast. Hell, the top 3 most downloaded gems are parts of the RSpec testing framework! Rails, I believe, is one of the reasons behind the rise of Ruby testing. The framework makes writing tests as enjoyable as possible. In most situations, fol
GraphQL on Rails: From zero to the first query—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog

Catch a batch: Making Mayhem 5 times more responsive—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
Milliseconds matter: that’s equally true for Olympic champions, online gamers, and gaming startups. Even little breakdowns in an online platform backend like excessive database calls or in-memory data manipulation can severely slow down the gaming servers’ response. We have a solution how to save milliseconds or even seconds for your application’s speed—a thorough analysis of the performance map a
TestProf: a good doctor for slow Ruby tests—Martian Chronicles, Evil Martians’ team blog
Writing tests is a significant part of the development process, especially in the Ruby and Rails community. We don’t care about test suite performance until we find ourselves wasting too much time waiting for the green light. I’ve spent a lot of time analyzing test suites performance and developed some useful techniques and tools to make tests faster. I’ve bundled them all into a meta-gem called T
