Ubicloud is built on Ruby, interesting take for 2025.





Yes, it is. :) Our CTO, Daniel, described why we chose Ruby for our control plane in a blog post.

On the data plane side, we use different open source components and our choice of programming language depends on them. For example for virtualization, we rely on Linux KVM and the Cloud Hypervisor. The former is in C and the latter in Rust.


May you live in interesting times.

Is there an actual underlying message to this or is this just wordplay? Don't know much about Ruby, but what I do know doesn't suggest it would make our (already all too "interesting") times even more "interesting".

It's an infamous quote: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_you_live_in_interesting_ti... and likely GP means it due to the yolo attitude of many ruby projects

May the gods give you everything you ask for
