What you’ll learn
Talk 1 — Deploying Rails apps to AWS using Terraform
In this talk, you’ll learn how to build a multi-environment infrastructure for a Ruby on Rails API on AWS using Terraform. Roko will walk through setting up the AWS CLI and Terraform, writing scripts to manage AWS resources, and structuring your Git branches. He’ll also cover how to use Bitbucket Pipelines to automate code checks, testing, Docker builds, and ECS deployments.
Talk 2 — Docker as Version Control for Ruby devs
Docker isn’t just for simplifying deployments or boosting security — it can also work like version control for your entire runtime environment. Josip will explain how maintaining a history of Docker images makes it easier to revert changes and track regressions. You’ll also get a crash course in Docker basics and how to use them to keep your deployed systems stable.
