Deploy with Kamal
About the Workshop
Hosting Rails applications doesn't have to mean paying a premium for Platform as a Service or diving deep into Kubernetes. Discover the middle ground that Kamal offers in our workshop.
In this comprehensive workshop, we will start with an in-depth dive into Kamal terminology, mechanisms and processes. Armed with this foundational knowledge, we will set up Kamal in a Rails project, configure it, and deploy it to real cloud servers. Following this, we will deploy a staging environment to mirror production settings. To ensure you gain practical experience, we will intentionally break our deployment, providing you with hands-on experience in debugging and recovering from not-so-obvious scenarios.
Whether you're new to containerized deployments or an experienced developer looking to streamline your workflow, this workshop will equip you with the essential skills to deploy and manage your web apps with confidence. You'll leave with a deeper understanding of Kamal and the ability to handle deployment challenges effectively.
