I’m a macOS user, and I consistently find launchd confusing and challenging to use. With so many process managers available, I decided to build my own instead of learning yet another one. 😁

At Datadog, I work on the Agent, a complex and substantial Go codebase. The Agent is designed to run on customer infrastructure, aggregating customer data and sending it to Datadog for real-time analysis.

Rspec is an excellent testing framework for Ruby. It allows you to use a DSL to test your ruby code. Generally, on a test, we will need some configuration that might have to run before or after the test.

I was reading a fantastic article from my colleague Kir, and I could help myself to feel nerd snipped by: For those curious to try Ractor, I’d suggest to try implementing other things that benefit from parallel execution, for instance a background job processor.

With the current global situation and the need to stay home, I finished writing this post I started during the last Christmas holidays. I wanted to learn more about the WebSockets protocol during Christmas.

Here at Shopify, I work as a Production Engineer on the Jobs team. Our mission is to maintain and improve the background job infrastructure for Shopify Core, one of the world’s most significant Ruby on Rails applications.

Last year in September I joined the Job Patterns team at Shopify. The mission of the team is to provide a stable platform so that developers can write their background jobs to power one of the biggest e-commerce platforms in the world.

It has been a while since I blog 😥 A lot has happened in the last six months. I started working for an English company based in London as a remote developer; I always wanted to work with an entirely distributed team. The experience was great. It gave me the flexibility I sought, and I never felt lonely or ran a solo mission against the code.

So the other day I found an exciting project Anycable that allow using custom WebSocket server within your ruby application. I immediately got hooked up, and I started reading about it, and the first thing that I never heard of it was Grpc.

Revised by Andy Holland Lately, there has been a significant change in the industry towards functional programming; new languages have appeared: Elixir, Scala, and Elm. With all this new hype, I decided to try some of them, and they are cool, but whether I like it at work, I mostly use ruby.
