Description
By Luke Melia Are you restarting your Rails server every time you deploy JavaScript? Are you waiting 5 minutes or more to deploy static JavaScript? Stop! We were able to cut our JavaScript front-end deployment times from more than 5 minutes to less than 15 seconds with zero downtime. As a bonus, we can preview new releases on production before making them live. I will share all the details of an approach you can implement on your Rails-backed Javascript app to make deploying JavaScript updates a joy. Luke Melia is Co-founder & CTO of Yapp & Yapp Labs. Luke discovered Ruby in 2005, is an active member of NYC.rb, co-organized the first GoRuCo, and was a co-author of Manning's "Ruby in Practice". He contributes regularly to Ember.js and organizes the Ember.js NYC Meetup . Help us caption & translate this video! http://amara.org/v/FG1r/

Summary
Markdown supported
In the video "Lightning Fast Deployment of Your Rails-backed JavaScript app" presented by Luke Melia at RailsConf 2014, the focus is on optimizing the deployment process for JavaScript applications built on a Ruby on Rails backend. Luke highlights the pain points faced when developers restart their Rails servers for every JavaScript deployment, often leading to extensive waiting periods of more than 5 minutes for updates. He shares a transformative approach that has reduced deployment times to under 15 seconds while also achieving zero downtime. Key points discussed in the presentation include: - **Common Deployment Issues**: Explaining the traditional lengthy deployment cycles that hinder productivity and responsiveness in web application updates. - **Zero Downtime Deployment Strategy**: Introducing a method that allows for rapid updates without affecting the live application, ensuring an improved user experience. - **Previewing New Releases**: Outlining an innovative feature that lets developers preview new releases in the production environment prior to going live, significantly reducing the risk of disruptive bugs or issues. - **Implementation of the Approach**: Providing step-by-step guidance on how developers can implement this fast deployment method in their existing Rails-backed JavaScript applications. - **Real-World Impact**: Luke potentially reflects on how these changes not only improve deployment efficiency but also enhance overall team productivity and morale. The conclusion emphasizes that with the right strategies in place, developers can enjoy seamless JavaScript deployments, sparking excitement rather than frustration. This transformation results in both immediate benefits in deployment speed and long-term advantages for development workflows.
