Deploying a Rails App Using Kamal and SQLite | Kyle Keesling

There’s been a lot of excitement lately in the Rails community. Rails World just wrapped up, which brought with it some really great annoucements for the future of the platform, as well as the release of Rails 7.1.This most recent release had a few particular additions/improvements that really piqued my interest in regards to how I approach deployment of new Rails apps, specifically around the inclusion of a standard Dockerfile as well as a focus on making SQLite a first-class citizen/consideration for production apps.When you combine that with my recent discovery of the litestack gem, the recent release of Kamal, and the recent GoRails series on building your own URL shortner, and the stars had aligned.
