Why engineers should come to the SF Ruby Conference in 2026

Summary

The SF Ruby Conference 2026 is a three‑day event for Ruby engineers, offering AI‑heavy and AI‑light tracks, talks from prominent contributors, and a networking format where every attendee gets a 60‑second mic slot. It provides direct access to experts, hiring opportunities, and community activities for anyone building or scaling Rails applications.

  • AI‑focused tracks include talks on scaling Rails agents, e.g., 150k RPS from Fin's monolith.
  • Every attendee gets a 60‑second mic slot and interest‑based matching for networking.
  • High‑profile Ruby contributors will cover job queues, real‑time, concurrency, view layer, and runtime performance.
  • The conference hosts a jobs board with 59 Ruby/Rails roles from 41 companies.

Ruby and Rails engineers, especially those dealing with AI integration or large‑scale performance, gain direct access to experts, hiring contacts, and community resources.
