Do you have a Rails app built on PostgreSQL and need to scale it to millions of users? In this interview, I speak with Andrew Atkinson, one of StepChange's expert consultants, who brings deep expertise in optimizing Rails applications for performance and scalability.Andrew’s expertise is backed by real-world experience—during his tenure at Microsoft, he played a key role in scaling the infrastructure for Flip (formerly Flipgrid), a video discussion and sharing app built for classrooms and beyond that Microsoft acquired in 2018, scaling it to support tens of millions of users.
