#ClaudeCode doesn't know the best way to upgrade Rails... so the team at FastRuby.io taught it with a set of #OpenSource skills! 🚀 For more than 8 years, our teams at OmbuLabs.ai and FastRuby.io have been publishing detailed guides on how to upgrade Rails applications. We have documented every minor version from Rails 2.3 through 8.1 in our Rails Upgrade Series and distilled our methodology into an ebook: The Complete Guide to Upgrade Rails 📚 All of that knowledge comes from more than 60,000 developer-hours of hands-on upgrade work for companies of all sizes, from solo-founded SaaS products to huge Rails monoliths running at Fortune 500 public companies. Last week we made the FastRuby.io methodology available to everyone as an open source Claude Code Skill: https://lnkd.in/eFx3AYnX #OSS #ClaudeSkills #GenAI #Claude #TechnicalDebt .
Claude Code doesn't know the best way to upgrade Rails... so we taught it with a set of open source skills! 🚀 On Wednesday I had the opportunity to present these skills at the Artificial Ruby Meetup in NYC. I shared a quick demo of three #OpenSource Claude Code skills that we just released: 1. Rails Upgrade Skill: https://lnkd.in/eQa9KFjZ 2. Dual Boot Skill: https://lnkd.in/ebQkpCtb 3. Rails Load Defaults Skill: https://lnkd.in/ewkZWwHA These skills are a great example of the intersection between the work we do at OmbuLabs.ai and FastRuby.io: We took AI tooling and combined it with deep domain expertise in Ruby and Rails upgrades. Here's the thing: Claude Code on its own will take shortcuts. It will skip versions. It won't dual boot. It won't match your `load_defaults` to your Rails version. These are mistakes that cause real problems in production. Some of these decisions are judgment calls that should be done by a human. Our methodology has been tested on real client applications where we've invested more than 60,000 dev/hours upgrading Rails. Now anyone using Claude Code can follow that same battle-tested approach... for free! If you're using #Rails, I invite you to give these skills a try. Report issues on the GitHub repos, or send me a DM if you have questions about how to leverage them for your upgrade. Huge thanks to Scott Werner from Sublayer for organizing the Artificial Ruby meetup and pushing AI in Ruby forward. #RubyOnRails #ClaudeCode #AI #OpenSource #ClaudeSkills #TechDebt

Many of our customers are concerned about the recent update by Heroku and what it means to them and the future of their business. Today we launched a new productized service to help our customers migrate away from #Heroku. Better safe than sorry. Their platform is not going away anytime soon, but wouldn’t you want to use a PaaS that’s invested in their future and committed to innovation? We know we would. Reach out if you are interested! 🚀 #PaaS #DevOps #DevSecOps #Rails
Today I'm excited (and also sad) to announce a new service by FastRuby.io: Our zero-downtime Heroku migration service. 🚀 Why sad? Because Heroku has been one of my favorite PaaS platforms since they launched. I've had so many side projects and fun little experiments in that platform and now it's likely going to continue to stagnate. Most of our internal tools are on that platform and we now need to add this to our roadmap too. Why excited? Because this is something that we've done in the past and we have a process that has been battle-tested on hundreds of applications. We know we can help companies migrate in an organized way that will be seamless to their customers and engineering teams. The time to migrate is now. We know that other platforms will continue to innovate, while Heroku will lag behind (as they've been doing for years now) RIP Heroku. You led the way for many years and you inspired all of us to simplify things that were really really complicated. Thank you for it all!
