Episode 537: Userlist with Benedikt Deicke

The Ruby on Rails Podcast

Benedikt used to be a freelance software engineer and co-founded Userlist in 2017 as a side project with his co-founder Jane Portman. They went full-time on it in 2020. Benedikt enjoys database query optimization just as much as pushing around pixels on the front-end

Alright, let’s talk about deploying code without having a full-blown panic attack. You ever push something live and immediately regret it? Like, ‘Oh no, I just nuked the homepage’? Well, guess what—Flipper’s got your back. Ship your code whenever you want, roll out features on your schedule, and if something goes sideways? Boom. Roll it back. No redeploy, no drama. Plus, you get multi-environment sync, audit history, and fine-grained permissions, so you don’t wake up to a ‘WTF happened?’ Slack message. Best part? Sign up at flippercloud.io/rails and get 10% off your first year. Flip the switch and chill out.
