The Latin America Rails Conference
April 4 and 5
Itaú Cube | São Paulo - Brazil
Two days of extremely high-level content, international speakers, and lots of networking!
From the community to the community.
A new moment for Rails!
We are experiencing a moment of rediscovery for Rails. In scenarios of restriction and the search for efficiency, its advantages as one of the best frameworks to start a startup or create a modern web application become even more obvious. With Rails World and so many others emerging in the United States and Europe, Tropical.rb returns with the proposal to bring together developers from Latin America to talk about Rails and share knowledge!
Our speakers
Adrian is a product-oriented engineer, author of Avo for Rails, and co-organizer of the Friendly.rb conference and the Friendly.show podcast. In his free time, he enjoys traveling the world, meeting interesting people, and learning about the world around us.
Alexandre Calaça is a passionate software engineer specialized in turning complex problems into elegant solutions through code. With an international background, he has contributed to collaborative projects involving professionals from America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia. Outside of work, he loves being with family and studying various topics.
The "majestic monolith" of FestaLab was created in 2018 running Rails 5.1, but currently runs Rails Edge, and the company contributed back to Rails some things they developed (including the switch to "vips by default" in Rails 7). This monolith was also the basis for collaboration on Propshaft and the first app that deployed the gem to production.
Bruno Ghisi is the co-founder and VP of Product and Engineering at RD Station, a leading company in technology solutions for digital marketing and sales in Brazil, with over 50 thousand clients. He holds a master's degree in Computer Science from UFSC. He was elected an Endeavor Entrepreneur in 2016 and has since become an investor and mentor in companies.
Bruno, a member of the Rails Foundation board, has been developing software with Rails since 2006. Originally from Brazil, he moved to the United States at the age of 13. With a rich history in software development and team leadership across various industries, Bruno has played a key role on the founding team of Doximity since 2010.
With over three decades of experience in software development, I am a pioneer in Ruby on Rails since its early versions and a CTO who has guided my company from the beginning, using Rails, to a successful initial public offering (IPO), continuously shaping the technology landscape.
Eileen helps lead the effort to improve and maintain the Rails framework and the Ruby language at Shopify. She focuses on ensuring stability and extensibility for individual developers and large and small businesses. Her goal is to ensure the long-term sustainability of Rails and its continued adoption as one of the leading open-source frameworks.
Fito von Zastrow is a Senior Software Engineer working at Cisco Meraki. He has over a dozen years of experience working with Ruby, Rails, and other technologies. He is a transplant from the San Francisco Bay Area, coming from Asunción, Paraguay. He enjoys hiking, playing video games, watching soccer, and pair programming.
José has been a Ruby developer since 2014, having worked on projects in Brazil, Europe, and North America. Passionate about Ruby on Rails, automated testing, CLIs, and Vim. In his spare time, he watches cartoons with his children and spends time with a 1983 Opala.
Mayra is from Lima, Peru. She is a Software Developer at Buk and a Technical Lead at WNBrb. She is passionate about Ruby, open source software, and diversity and inclusion in technology. She is very lazy about creating things for herself, but never too lazy to help others build their dreams, especially in the RoR community. Outside of work, you will probably find her spending time playing with her cats, planning the next conference she will attend, and doing Zumba.
Weldys is from São Luís, a software engineer, has been working with Rails since 2006 but took a break to be a manager. Tired of so many meetings, he returned to being a developer. He is now the father of two children, a purple belt in Karate, and wants to own a farm.

Reinventing the Authentication Wheel
We all use Devise - in fact, this is the authentication approach in Rails. But what if I told you that building your authentication is not that difficult? A few years ago I created a library called authentication-zero and it became very popular.

A Brewer's Guide to Filtering out Complexity and Churn
Complex code is expensive and risky to change. Most programmers do not know how their changes increase complexity over time. Eventually, complexity leads to pain and frustration. Without understanding complexity, developers tend to blame Rails. Come learn how to keep complexity under control.

Código complexo é caro e arriscado de alterar. A maioria dos programadores não sabe como suas mudanças aumentam a complexidade com o tempo. Eventualmente, a complexidade leva à dor e à frustração. Sem entender a complexidade, os desenvolvedores tendem a culpar o Rails. Venha aprender como manter a complexidade sob controle.
