Two weeks ago, some of our Lisbon team headed north to Viana do Castelo for Euruko 2025, Europe’s biggest Ruby conference. It was an inspiring few days packed with talks, workshops, and plenty of hallway conversations with Rubyists from all around the world.
Euruko is known for its welcoming, community-driven atmosphere, and it brought together expert developers to share knowledge, swap stories, and explore the future of Ruby.
Euruko always balances technical depth with community spirit, and this year was no different. For us, it was more than just attending talks. It was about immersing ourselves in the Ruby ecosystem, meeting peers, and bringing back ideas we can apply directly to our work. Here are some of the highlights and key themes we’re taking away from this year’s event:
1. The Ruby Ecosystem Keeps Evolving
Talks this year emphasised how Ruby is improving performance, concurrency, and developer experience, all while keeping its trademark elegance. We’re excited to test out new Ruby features on internal projects to see how they can boost both scalability and productivity.
