Bluegrass Ruby Users Group January 2025: Rails 8

UPDATE: Canceled due to weather. Here's the event for next month. Hope to see you there!

Rails 8 was released in November, and so far we've only explored deployment with Kamal as a group.

There's lots more that we can explore together, including:

• The "Solid" SQLite adapters for WebSockets, caching, and background jobs—no Redis required!
• Built-in authentication generator.
• Rails 7 features that you may have missed, including import maps and Hotwire.
