Growing pains are never fun. It doesn't mention (at least that I read) if they're using HashiCorp Open Source or Enterprise. Open Source is great and I owe my career to it but they might be hitting the scale when the Enterprise features and support start to be worth the price.

I've only used Fly.io for a personal app but I think it's a great option so I hope they keep growing.

Ah my question was answered more or less. They're an edge case which makes sense: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35048318

Anyone knows some projects using mruby as their embedded interpreter?

I could think of something like Nginx having a mruby module instead of Lua.

The configuration management tool mitamae is another mruby project: https://github.com/itamae-kitchen/mitamae

“and I’ve never see a Rails app age well.”

Seems like this describes any app in any language I’ve ever worked on. Certainly Rails apps are more prone to this phenomenon because of the low barrier entry. Having worked with apps that have grown from Rails 2 through 5 (and soon 6) it’s quite possible to build Rails apps that “age well”.

Case in point for a Rails app that can age well is GitHub. When they launched in 2008 they were probably using Rails 2.0.2 (best guess based on release notes).

pwelch · 6 years ago

Agreed, any application regardless of language or framework can age poorly. I've seen some pretty solid "long running" Rails applications that were just maintained well.

To be fair, I've never seen GitHub's codebase. In fact, I'm not entirely sure if it's even still the same "Rails app", or if they've moved to a microservice architecture or something.

pwelch · 6 years ago

Not sure what microservice architecture has to do with it. You can have microservices that are Rails apps. :)

At this point, I am at a complete loss to understand what it is that Keybase is, or is doing.

A pity, because it started so well, as a way to manage my online identity.

Their private encrypted git repos and file storage is pretty solid.

Given its maturity and settled place in the programming landscape it's always nice to see that Rails can still evoke irrational disdain in HN comments.
