I’m extremely impressed with how slick your Heroku integration is. We thought about moving over to render but the dev ux just isn’t there like Heroku. I would be fine with paying for a read replica on the west coast that was always running if you can make it as easy the rest of your Heroku integration.

you might be running into max connection issues because your library is leaving stale connections. i know this is the case for ruby & php. check if you have timeout set. see this github issue for ruby: https://github.com/redis/redis-rb/issues/524

Dumb question but suppose I need a mobile app. Then what question do I ask myself after :)?

I think you're right. I'll just do this.

Slightly off topic but I'm curious about using React Native vs WebView with native wrapper and components.

I'm a developer who primarily codes in Ruby. I'm working on a side project that will be mostly CRUD and have no DOM updates. The application will need to support web, mobile, and tablet. I'm considering using React so I can use React Native but I'm afraid I'm adding a level of unnecessary complexity.

Originally, I was planning to use web views and wrapping them in native components (navigation, specific ui elements) like Basecamp does (described here: https://signalvnoise.com/posts/3743-hybrid-sweet-spot-native...).

I'm proficient with Java and Javascript. My experience with js frameworks is mostly with jQuery and Angular but I've created toy apps in React.

Time is a limiting factor since this is a side project. My goal is to turn this side project into a business, not learn new technical skills. Ruby and Rails is very comfortable for me.

What do you think? Should I learn RN or just stick with Rails?
