Ruby 3, Concurrency and the Ecosystem
With the Ruby 3.0 release, there’s been a lot of chatter about concurrency, parallelism, and async IO.
For my own reflection, I wanted to write down what that means for performance and capacity/costs of apps, and what would be the impact on the Ruby ecosystem.
I will assume that the audience already knows the difference between threads vs processes model in UNIX and the Little’s law.
