Rails (and its ecosystem) is anything but boring with Turbo/Hotwire, StimulusJS, a shift away from queues using Redis to the database w/ Solid Queue, a reexamination of how SQLite can be used as a prod database (when tuned), and a new rich text editor on the way… Some of these are eyebrow raising and certainly not boring!

Shifting to solid queue, backed by your rdbms, is more boring than using redis. Successfully deploying an app without anything but a database server is pretty powerful. Everything just works. I would say that's pretty boring :)

  > Everything just works. I long to live in your world where this is the case! Unfortunately the migration from Sidekiq + Redis → Solid Queue has been anything but boring.

    I started fresh from Rails 8, so maybe that's why I didn't deal w/ that migration problem. I'm sorry it was stressful :(

    We're about to do this as well, but from resque. Got any tips to share?

      TBH we backed out of it as we didn't need to make the change now.

        Would love to read about it if you have a write up of the problem you encountered.

I think they are launching a markdown editor, not rich text

He meant that it's been around for a while and is relatively stable. Not that it's literally boring.
