A History of Bundles: 2010 to 2017
summary
Bundler starts in 2010 as a simple installer and attracts thousands of hours of work to solve real problems: slow installs, huge apps, and inconsistent deployments. The project adds compact index and a CDN-backed API, ship multithreaded installs and a non‑recursive resolver, and learns to handle apps with 600 gems and millions of downloads per day. Funding via Ruby Together and grants pays ops and dev time, Bundler 2 adds global gem cache, platform-aware locks, and other practical fixes.
