Speaker bio

I am a software developer for now over 6 years.

I started with Java and worked for a large IT-consultancy in munich. There I got to know a lot about projects in the IT industry.

After a while I got really interested in Ruby and started my first steps with Ruby and Rails.

Now I am a Ruby developer for over 2 years now and am working at a small software company that created a CRM application for Real Estate Agents.

Migrations: The Ruby way

  • Desired talk duration: 30 minutes

Abstract

Everybody knows about the Rails migrations. However, these migrations are either purely technical nature or transfer data from an old schema to a new one.

But what do you do when you need to migrate large amounts of data from one product to another.

We at Propertybase went through the trouble migrating data from several systems in our product. And we did it all in Ruby despite of the amount of corporate technologies (Oracle, Salesforce, MSSQL).

So sit back and listen to all the obstacles we had to master in order to succeed and what we learned about Ruby, its flavours (in particular JRuby) and databases.
