Postgres & Rails 6 Multi-DB: Pitfalls, Patterns, Performance by Gabe Enslein

Rails 6 has officially added Multiple database support, and the options are overwhelming. We're here to help you make the right architecture decisions for your app. In this talk, we will look at performance gains and pitfalls to some common patterns including: separation of concerns, high-load tables, and data segmentation. We'll talk about read replicas, eventual consistency, and real-time (or near real-time) requirements for a Rails application using multiple Postgres databases.

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Active Record Allocations by Richard Schneeman & Caleb Thompson

Your app is slow. It does not spark joy. In this talk, we will use memory allocation profiling tools to discover performance hotspots, even when they're coming from inside a library. We will use this technique with a real-world application to identify a piece of optimizable code in Active Record that ultimately leads to a patch with a substantial impact on page speed.
