I help run a little continuous integration service called Travis CI. For that purpose I built several home-baked things that help us collect metrics and trigger alerts.
I want to start with a little story. I spend quality time at coffee shops and I enjoy peeking over the shoulders of the guy who's roasting coffee beans. Next to the big roasting machine they commonly have a laptop with pretty graphs showing how the temperature in the roaster changes over time. On two occasions I found myself …

Travis CI
At Travis CI , we're learning from failure, a lot. As a continuous integration platform, it started out as a hobby project and was built with a lot of positive assumptions.
It used to be a distributed system that always assumed everything would work correctly all the time.
As we grew and added more languages and more projects, this ideal fell apart pretty quickly.
It is a symptom of a lot of projects that are developer-driven, because there's just so little …

Hopefully I've helped show that we're really just seeing the tip of the iceberg as far as optimizing JRuby using invokedynamic. More than anything we want you to report real-world use cases that could benefit from additional optimization, so we can target our work effectively. And as always, please try out your apps on JRuby, enable JRuby testing in Travis CI, and let us know what we can do to make your JRuby experience better!

We love JRuby, everything from the threading support to having the power of the JVM at our finger tips. But what we love most is that we can set up a JRuby app in seconds, the same way as all of our other Heroku apps. Git push and it's live, no matter what the language.
We've been working with the JRuby team to make sure that the experience …
