Living Social Lightning Talks

" summary

Monolithic Rails code splits into microservices, so LivingSocial builds a Stepford service that serves JSON “packages” containing precompiled markup styles and scripts, renders ERB server-side, and relies on varnish and Memcache to hide added latency; internal-gem workflow uses bundler’s bundle gem, company namespacing and a rake release wrapper to push to geminabox or stickler instead of RubyGems; production analysis combines New Relic, StatsD, flatfoot and sampled production code coverage to find and delete thousands of unused lines.
