The Irish summer has surprised us and largely delivered on the weather front. Now, it's time for Ruby Ireland to deliver on the backend and we think you'll love what we have in store - super scaling database migrations with Rails (Miles McGuire) and a radical AI-based approach to capturing and sustaining ideas (Declan McGrath). So join us for this exciting evening of tech talks!

**\#\#\# "Transform Best Practices Into Guardrails: How To Scale Processes Without Slowing Everyone Down" by** **Miles McGuire**
Learn how Intercom scaled the developer experience of running migrations on our MySQL database, balancing speed of iteration with protecting availability. The most important thing? Turning "best practices" into guardrails to reduce decision points for engineers without increasing risks for customers.

**###** **"Radaica-DP - Boldly Build Without Any Gaps" by Declan McGrath**
In this talk, Declan will outline a radical AI-based approach to capturing and sustaining ideas in the software development cycle. Learn how to leverage modern AI tooling and comms to establish solid foundations for building software and avoid constantly rediscovering information... maybe even channeling some ancient philosophical wisdom along the way. This should be the last wheel you ever reinvent!

We are very grateful to Intercom for hosting and sponsoring this meetup, including food and beverages.

**Note:** Doors at Intercom open at 6:30pm, with pizza served immediately! Talks start at 7pm.

Minimum age limit to attend is 18 years.
