Low hanging fruit for Ruby performance optimization in Rails

by nesquena —

We’ve been looking into Ruby performance optimization after noticing our site response time increasing in New Relic. While there may be many causes for slow performance, looking into your garbage collection performance is an easy way to impact response time by > 20%. It also helps us identify actions that have especially expensive memory allocation.

I won’t post again on here for fear of being a bit too spammy but check out a post about our web/native hybrid iPhone framework by another one of the Miso engineers (Josh Wu) to learn more about how we got the best of both worlds in our iPhone app using an API powered by RABL.

We are getting in the rhythm of getting an engineer to post every week, so hopefully we can soon put out some articles that go more in depth into what we have been working on lately.
