Robby and Corinne joined the Ruby on Rails Podcast to chat with host Kyle Daigle about the 2018 Ruby on Rails community survey.

They discussed some of the surprising and interesting findings from this year’s survey – including how many people in the community find devise and ActiveRecord frustrating.

What else was surprising? The stats uncovered on continuous integration. For Kyle, it was surprising how many Rails developers aren’t using any continuous integration tools at all. We’ve primarily used Solano at Planet Argon (along with Bitbucket Pipelines) but we’re in the minority. The stats we found made us wonder if we should consider other tools that the community is using.

And that’s one great thing about the public results of the Rails survey. You’re able to see what your peers are doing and using and re-evaluate if you haven’t considered your options in a while.

We won’t spoil some of the other discussion points, but click here to check out the full podcast. We hope you enjoy the conversation!

New European Union business regulations are rolling out on May 25th of this year – the General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR. These new regulations bring existing legislation related to online data storage and consumer privacy up to date with current online practices. Companies who operate in the EU or handle European customer data, regardless of what country they're based in, will need to follow these new regulations to avoid hefty fines.

But as with any major legislation change, it can be confusing to figure out what you need to change in your application at a technical level, along with any organizational or documentation changes you may need to make within your company. To help point you in the right direction, we put together a short eBook that explains some important facts about GDPR, some technical aspects to examine within your application if it is built with Ruby on Rails, and helpful resources for further research about GDPR.
