Imagine: Rails 8 Solid Trifecta: Cache, Cable, Queue

The "Solid Trifecta" is a suite of database-backed solutions—Solid Cache, Solid Cable, and Solid Queue—added in Ruby on Rails 8 to simplify application architecture by reducing the need for external services like Redis and Memcached. These components are built on top of existing database infrastructure to handle caching, WebSocket messaging, and background job processing. Solid Cache Traditional RAM-based caching systems are replaced by Solid Cache which uses disk storage, including SSDs and NVMe drives. This method provides bigger cache storage at lower costs which leads to extended cache retention times and enhanced application performance. As an example, Basecamp has adopted Solid Cache to store 10 terabytes of data with a 60-day retention window, which has resulted in a significant reduction in render times.
