Adam McCrea shares how he turned a side project into JudoScale, a Ruby-focused auto-scaler now powering thousands of apps. We discuss his origins in the Ruby community, how he (mostly) bootstrapped the company, and admits he's pretty much living the dream. We also look ahead at new potential features like DinoSniper and proactive scaling.
Rocky Mountain Ruby is coming up, on October 6th, in Boulder, Colorado. It's a single-track, community-focused conference that always draws an amazing group of people. Tickets are on sale now, so if you're in the area, or if you're just looking for an excuse to spend some time in the Rockies, you should definitely check it out.
