Our journey began with the Warsaw Meetup series, where a shared love for Ruby brought developers together. In July 2023, we celebrated this community with the inaugural Ruby Warsaw Community Conference, gathering over 100 developers from across Europe.
This past summer, we took it a step further with our Rails-themed edition, where every session — from inspiring talks to hands-on workshops — focused exclusively on Ruby on Rails. The event was a huge success, providing participants with the opportunity to deepen their Rails expertise and connect with like-minded enthusiasts.

As we continue our tradition of hosting two conferences each year, summer and winter, we’re excited to announce that this year’s winter edition will take place in Cracow! Expect the same high-caliber discussions, practical workshops, and fantastic networking opportunities, all set against the charming backdrop of this historic city.

speaker: Rosa Gutiérrez Escudero — 37signals

Principal programmer at 37signals. Loves cities, mathematics, theoretical computer science, learning languages for humans and computers, puzzles & bicycles. Human to Mochi.

topic: Solid Queue internals, externals and all the things in between

We’ve used Resque and Redis to run background jobs in multiple apps for many years at 37signals. However, performance, reliability, and our own apps’ idiosyncrasies led us to use a lot of different gems, some developed by us, some forked or patched to address our struggles. After multiple war stories with background jobs, looking at our increasingly complex setup, we wanted something we could use out-of-the-box without having to port our collection of hacks to every new app and with fewer moving pieces. After exploring existing alternatives, we decided to build our own and aim to make it the default for Rails 8.

In this talk, I’ll present Solid Queue, explain some of the problems we had over the years, how we designed Solid Queue to address them, and all the Fun™ we had doing that.

topic: The joy of creativity in the age of AI

We'll explore how Ruby can unlock new avenues of creativity in the age of AI and cross-technology innovation. By leveraging Ruby's simplicity and adaptability, we can seamlessly integrate cutting-edge solutions like speech recognition and generation, or image analysis and creation. We can also incorporate advanced techniques like vector search into our projects with minimal effort. Let's rediscover the joy of building beyond traditional boundaries and position the Ruby community at the forefront of technological invention and creativity.
