Rails Engineer · Founder of DeadBro APM

About

Senior Ruby on Rails engineer with 10+ years of experience building and scaling web applications. I've worked with companies like Deliveroo, ABOSS, and Sparqle, optimising performance, reducing costs, and building reliable systems. I run Ruby Dev SRL, a Rails development & consulting company, and I'm the founder of DeadBro — an affordable APM for Ruby on Rails apps. Tired of paying Datadog prices for side projects? That's exactly why I built it. Always happy to talk Rails, performance, and indie hacking.

How many of you have lost work because of AI?

Now that we have some distance from the initial AI boom, can you say whether AI took your job or improved it?

I definitely felt the impact in the first half of 2024.

Are your backend services authenticated or just trusted by default?

most teams spend a lot of time thinking about user authentication. who can log in, how, with what credentials.

and then the services behind the scenes just... trust each other. because they're on the same network. because they're in the same VPC. because nobody questioned it when the architecture was first drawn up.

How do you promote early‑stage SaaS tools to developer teams?

I ve been building an on call voice alert SaaS (WakeUpDev) and recently launched it. Through testing, we learned a lot about what dev teams actually need (like 2 way phone ACK loops and CSV configs instead of dashboards).

Now I m curious:

For those of you who ve launched developer focused products, where did you find your first users?

Which channels or communities helped you get traction?
