Living on the Edge of Rails
Shopify describes running its Core monolith on the unreleased Rails 6 master branch, or “Edge of Rails,” since February 2019, with the goal of continuously using the framework’s latest revision. Instead of annual upgrades, weekly changes reduce diff size and let developers use upstream features quickly, while a 130,000-plus-test suite finds edge cases and informs patches to Rails and related projects such as Zeitwerk. Solid Track automates weekly Rails bumps, opens GitHub pull requests, and triggers git bisect when CI fails to identify the breaking commit. Green builds move through ten-minute canary deployments before reaching the remaining servers. The approach trades the stability of released dependencies for faster fixes and features, relying on monitoring, tests, and controlled deployment to manage risk.
