Building Infrastructure Control Planes in Ruby

Ubicloud has the ambition of writing an open source alternative to AWS, Azure, or GCP. Its control plane is written in Ruby, a fact that surprises some people.Our cofounder, Daniel, has been building control planes in Ruby for 13 years - first at Heroku and now at Ubicloud. He recently presented at the YC Ruby Meetup and SF Bay Area Ruby Meetup. We received solid feedback about Daniel’s talk, so we edited his talk into a blog post.
