Puma, Falcon, or Pitchfork? Choosing the right web server for your Ruby app is a big decision.
In my @railsconf talk, I break down the key differences, performance trade-offs, and how to choose the right one for your specific application.

One thing I heard over and over again at RailsConf: "I love meeting people at conferences, but I always forget who I talked to once I get home."
Same here. So I’m building something new: RubyFriends.app
These awesome people all helped raise the quality level and get the book released.
Opportunities like speaking at #RailsConf were in part due to their contributions. Thank you!
