SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires bullet, redis, memcached, solid_cache, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the performance bottlenecks in a Rails 8.1 application by offering menu-driven caching and query tuning options, ensuring the application runs efficiently.

Core Features & Use Cases

Caching: Choose a cache store, apply caching strategies like fragment and HTTP caching, and configure N+1 detection.
Query Tuning: Optimize database queries with indexes, select/pluck, counter caches, and read replicas.
Use Case: When an endpoint in your Rails application is slow, this Skill helps you identify and fix performance issues, such as N+1 queries and inefficient caching.

Quick Start

Use the rails-performance skill to optimize the performance of your Rails app, specifically targeting the endpoint /users.
