Location: The Ruby Underground

Step into the shadows for a clandestine evening of code camaraderie at LA Ruby's most exclusive gathering yet. The Ruby Underground comes to LA to bring together the brightest SoCal Ruby minds in a real-life speakeasy where ideas flow as freely as Jimmy the Lip's famous hooch. This event is made possible thanks to [Scout Monitoring](https://www.scoutapm.com/), hassle-free app monitoring that just works.

**Featured Speakers**
**[Mot](https://github.com/motdotla)** \- The mastermind behind [dotenv](https://github.com/motdotla/dotenv) will emerge from behind the dark curtain to share his latest innovation to keep your secrets safe.
**[Claudio B](https://github.com/claudiob).** \- Rails core contributor will reveal his closely\-held secret to building the most powerful weekend Rails app you've seen\.

**What to Expect**
Arrive discreetly. Speak softly. Think boldly. This isn't your average tech meetup – it's a clandestine gathering of two dozen Ruby enthusiasts sharing forbidden knowledge while the outside world is none the wiser.

This is legitimately a speakeasy. It's cash-only and has no sign. Follow your favorite maps app, find street parking nearby, and bring a wad of cash. They seriously won't take credit cards or Venmo.

**RSVP required.** Capacity is strictly limited to maintain our cover. The authorities (and PHP developers) must never know.

*Remember: The first rule of LA Ruby Underground is... actually, do tell everyone. But only your favorite developers.*

**About Our Sponsor**
Scout Monitoring (formerly known as Scout APM) is application performance monitoring and log management that streamlines troubleshooting by helping developers find and fix performance issues before customers ever see them.

With real-time alerting, a developer-centric UI, and tracing logic that ties bottlenecks directly to source code, Scout Monitoring helps you spend less time debugging and more time building a great product.
Quickly identify, prioritize, and resolve performance problems – memory bloat, N+1 queries, slow database queries, and more – with an agent that instruments the dependencies you need at a fraction of the overhead.
Scout Monitoring is built for engineers, by engineers, and monitors Ruby, PHP, Python, and Elixir applications.
