Check Out DEV Lead Software Engineer Ridhwana Khan’s talk at Rocky Mountain Ruby!

Hey DEV Community! We are excited to share an upcoming conference talk by our Lead Software Engineer Ridhwana Khan 🤩🎉. If you weren't able to catch her caching talk at Rubyday 2023, check it out at Rocky Mountain Ruby!

@ridhwana will be talking about the caching strategies we use on dev.to – YES! this very site 😉

Rocky Mountain Ruby is a Ruby-focused conference held on October 5th & 6th 2023 in Boulder, Colorado, USA.

We’ve always put a lot of effort into performance at DEV. We want our users to be able to see their content almost instantaneously when interacting with our site.

In order to do so we’ve placed emphasis on caching. We’ve had to ask ourselves questions like: what are the right things to cache? Which layer in the stack would be best to cache it? And how will this affect the overall performance?

During this presentation, I’d like to show you some of the caching strategies we have in place and discuss how they’ve sped up the interactions within our site.

We are so proud of Ridhwana and so excited for her talk! If you're attending Rocky Mountain Ruby (or happen to be local to Boulder, Colorado), definitely check it out!
