Themes

This year the conference sessions will be focused on the following themes:

Infrastructure as Code

The tools, processes, and companies at the forefront of this idea reach for Ruby at even the largest companies.

Service Oriented Architecture

These days, building "an application" rarely means just working with one code base. Our applications interact with internal and services and this changes the way we build and communicate with these services.

Need for Speed

The Ruby world we live in moves fast. Fast processing, response times, fast load times. It's also about teams that have to move fast, try concepts quickly, fail fast, and grow fast.

Go Big or Go Home

Bring me your data, your stats, your multitudes of users and share what you've learned. Beyond big data and applications, we'll be talking about big teams and having a big impact on the world.
