Add an eventBuilding fast APIs with Rails
A session at Railsberry 2012
So you heard that Rails is not good for doing APIs. A robust framework with a extended view layer and an asset pipeline cannot produce fast APIs. Right?
Wrong! In my talk I'll go over how to have a fast API within your Rails application, with topics including:
- Understanding what is actually happening when your Rails app is producing the response
- Minimizing external calls to a minimum
- Digging deeper within ActionController to get extra juice
- Decoupling representation to optimize performance
This talk is based on what we've done at Future Simple to tune our Rails apps and the awesome work Rails Core is doing to better support APIs.
