Work on Rails 8 is starting, so I dug through the official GitHub milestone to break down all the upcoming goodies for you. There's plenty coming, including Solid Queue, Solid Cache and Kamal becoming defaults, better support for PWAs, an official LSP, and more!

The RubyLA blog offers insights, tutorials, and community updates for Ruby developers in Los Angeles and beyond. Developers can explore Ruby language features, web development frameworks, and best practices for building Ruby applications. Additionally, the blog covers Ruby meetups, events, and job opportunities in the Los Angeles area, fostering collaboration and networking within the local Ruby community.
