Yes, absolutely. I am just working on a new one built on my template Business Class which stays very close to Rails defaults. I really like all the 'small' things that aren't actually small like Action Text, Active Job, Turbo. And I deploy with Kamal too, ofc.

I am still writing https://nts.strzibny.name

It's my own retrospection / notes / and now also marketing for my books Deployment from Scratch and Kamal Handbook.

I get around 6k/mo visits, it's not really growing but I also never wrote "for SEO", just whatever I am dealing with.

As for promotion I submit the better posts to Ruby subreddit and I am lucky my posts are often picked up by 2 Ruby newsletters.

Can I ask buildpack to give me a Dockerfile that I can use/edit later?

Nice write up. Don't listen to folks at jobs that will never "get it". I wish you good luck, left my last full-time job mid last year.

You can also simplify Kubernetes to just Kamal and things become instantly easier...

I think the only benefit is that it does less, so less code, less maintainance or things going wrong? But Sprockets is certainly battle tested and maybe better choice for many right now.

web (Rails) and infra (Kamal) are long standing domains for Ruby

Maybe people feel there is not yet time to rewrite them?

Btw I am contributing myself this year to the book ecosystem by writing Kamal Manual and Test Driving Rails.

I am sure more pure Ruby books will happen too by someone.

I was already pretty happy with Kamal 1 but Kamal 2 will probably do it for way more people. The most requested feature was running multiple apps so I wrote a post on how that looks like if anyone is curious[0].

I look forward to the updated book too (bought the Kamal 1 version!) :-) Thanks for writing it.
