Architecture of modern web applications on Ruby on Rails

An online workshop for Ruby and Rails developers who want to not only understand application architecture, but also master the skill of making informed technical decisions. Using a Rails project development and refactoring example, we'll take a closer look at how and why modern architectural approaches have evolved.

This workshop is for you if:

• you want to learn what architects do and how you can learn and apply these skills in your career
• you don't know how to make architectural decisions or have difficulty interacting with an architect
• you have questions about the origins and purposes of different services, policies, forms, and other objects
• you don't fully understand why many people are trying to move away from ActiveRecord
• you use sidekiq and redis, but are puzzled why their use is limited in some companies
• you are told that microservices are good, but you have experienced (or heard of) a project where their implementation only made things worse situation

This workshop will allow you to:

Organize your knowledge of application architecture

What is architecture, its types, pros and cons of different types and approaches. What and in what sequence to study to strengthen your architecture design skills.

Learn to design and change the architecture of your projects

When it is worth relying on the existing architecture, and when it is necessary to create a new one. How, when and in what direction to change the architecture.

Understand the architectural solutions implemented in Ruby on Rails and their alternatives

The reasons for these solutions, their advantages and limitations. Alternatives: which, how and when to apply.

Start a career path as an architect

You will learn what the work of architects is and how it differs from the work of a developer. You will understand whether this career path is right for you and how to move in this direction.
