I recently started building a Rails 3 app that will function as an internal REST service. I wanted it to be as lightweight and fast as possible, both to test and to run. Here are a few ways I configured the app to be a bit faster:
- Defined a limited route set
- Removed ActiveResource
- Removed unnecessary middleware
- Created a custom controller that inherits from Metal
My pair and I were recently working on an app that asynchronously loaded the Facebook Javascript SDK but synchronously loaded the jQuery library. We had to invoke some javascript once Facebook and jQuery were both loaded, and this post describes how we did it.
