- Kamal 2: A Simpler Way to Deploy Ruby ApplicationsLink visible for attendees
Talk Abstract
In this talk, we’ll dive into Kamal 2, a powerful tool that makes deploying Ruby on Rails applications easier. We'll discuss why Kamal is important, how Kamal 2 works, what has changed from Kamal v1, and how to upgrade smoothly.We’ll also walk through the request flow in a modern Rails app, starting with kamal-proxy, then moving through Thruster – a new tool that works with the Puma application server – and finally reaching Puma. Furthermore, we'll explain why kamal-proxy replaced Traefik and how it improves flexibility and performance.
Lastly, we’ll cover how to use Kamal 2 with GitHub Actions to automate your deployments, making the process even more efficient.
Whether you’re a developer or DevOps engineer, this talk will help you understand how Kamal 2 can simplify your deployment workflow.
