Rails 8 Solid Stack

Production guides for Rails 8, Solid Queue, Solid Cache, Kamal, authentication, and Hotwire. The through-line is simpler Rails infrastructure that still holds up under real deployments.

Core guide

Solid Queue in Rails 8: Complete Setup Guide

Install Solid Queue, configure workers and recurring jobs, understand concurrency, and deploy it with Kamal.

MIGRATION

Sidekiq to Solid Queue Migration

A zero-downtime runbook for moving jobs, retries, schedules, and monitoring without breaking production.

SCHEDULING

Solid Queue Recurring and Cron Jobs

Recurring.yml, Fugit syntax, scheduler processes, time zones, staging flags, and idempotent job bodies.

COMPARISON

Solid Queue vs Sidekiq vs GoodJob

Throughput, cost, operational complexity, and the cases where the Rails default is not the right answer.

CACHE

Solid Cache in Rails 8

Database-backed caching, Redis trade-offs, production sizing, and when to keep Redis anyway.

AUTH

Rails 8 Authentication Generator

Sessions, password resets, email confirmation, rate limiting, and owning the authentication code.

FRONTEND

Hotwire and Turbo in Rails

Production patterns for server-rendered interactivity, Turbo Frames, Turbo Streams, and Stimulus.

Planning a Rails 8 migration?

I help teams move Rails apps onto the Solid Stack with staged rollout plans, queue parity checks, deployment updates, and rollback paths.
