Rails 8 Without Redis: Running Jobs, Cache, and WebSockets on Just Postgres
Description:
Redis has been the default answer for background jobs, caching, and real-time features in Rails for over a decade. Rails 8 ships three gems that replace it entirely: Solid Queue, Solid Cache, and Solid Cable, all backed by your existing database.
This talk walks through what it's actually like to run a production Rails 8 API with zero Redis. I'll cover the setup, the wins, the rough edges, and when you should still reach for Redis. If you've been curious about Rails 8's "no-Redis" story but haven't tried it yet, this is the 10-minute version.
Talk Duration (estimated): 10 minutes
Preferred month to present: April/May
