Rails performance tips
We have been recently working on a top-secret Rails app and performance has been a primary consideration. Although I agree that “scaling is a nice problem to have sometime in the future“, it does not mean we throw good software design out of the window. It causes a lot less pain and effort designing something better from the ground-up than re-factoring an entire code-base at a later point.
With this in view, we set about investigating a few pointers to improving Rails performance. A note that all of these are links that have been collected from our days learning Rails from various sources on the web. I just could not let these languish in our internal wiki!
- Optimising ActiveRecord
- Scaling Twitter
- Common performance problems in Rails
