"For me, the answer is no — Rails 8 doesn’t remove the value proposition of platforms. I’d rather focus on my app and let a platform like Heroku handle the infrastructure."

You should be using circuit breakers.

I've seen too many apps go belly-up because some external service went down. Please wrap your service calls with a circuit breaker to save yourself the pain.

Funny thing.
So in most #Ruby web frameworks (works with Roda, Rails and I think Sinatra, at the very least) you can mount other Rack apps to endpoints.
IIRC that's how Rodauth works.
But I haven't seen the ability to mount other WSGI apps in #Python frameworks.
Wonder if there's a technical reason for that, or if it's just, something that isn't needed.

#Kotlin home page is kotlinlang.org, and people keep calling it Kotlin.

#Ruby home page is ruby-lang.org and, guess what? people keep calling it Ruby.

Why on Earth Go programmers feel compelled to call their preferred programming language adding a -lang suffix is a mystery to me.
