PlanetScale uses rails and we have out-shipped our competitors every year for the last 6 years

The best part of #kaigionrails for me was getting to thank @marcoroth_ for ReActionView. We’ve been using it in production for our product, with custom Herb lint rules, since May. Excited about the possibilities Marco outlined for Herb and ReActionView!
