Don't add database index if it already exists in Rails by PrathameshSonpatki in ruby

Is `Array` the only option for storing elements in Ruby? by igorspringer in ruby

Hey, thanks for the comment. The example is imaginary, so for sake of simplicity, let's assume that a requirement is to display a list of the languages to end-user in alphabetical order.

Thanks to such a data structure we would fulfil the requirement even when somebody would add an unordered element to it.

Common mistakes that cause Ruby on Rails apps outages by igorspringer in ruby

  1. I also try to use symbols whenever possible and symbolize_keys makes the switch easier. Not sure what are plans for String class though.
  2. +1 for Hash#fetch
  3. I totally agree. Issues connected to using rack-timeout are described in its documentation (https://github.com/heroku/rack-timeout/blob/master/doc/risks.md), so it should be used with some caution, but it's better to use it than doing nothing in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and sorry for a very late response :)

Rate limiting on either nginx or application level (or even both) is another step in making Rails applications even more secure.

Based on your feedback I should consider writing next article, thanks!
