JRuby - The enterprise view

JRuby is often portrayed as the Ruby with brilliant Garbage Collection and native threads but poor startup time and large memory overhead. But how can JRuby really help you in a project, especially when you deal with large corporations that live in the Java world.

Transcript

1. The enterprise view
2. One of the best GCs in the world Native Threading Profiled Optimizations Native JIT True Parallelism (slow startup time)
4. Recap “The Java World”
5. Let me tell you a story
6. The Migration
7. Java Database Connectivity (JDBC)
8. require 'java' ! java_import 'oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver' java_import 'java.sql.DriverManager' ! class OracleConnection ! def initialize (user, passwd, url) oradriver = OracleDriver.new ! DriverManager.registerDriver oradriver @conn = DriverManager.get_connection url, user, passwd end ! def create_statement() @conn.create_statement end ! def prepare_statement(sql) @conn.prepare_statement sql end ! def commit() @conn.commit end ! end The Oracle Way stmnt = conn.create_statement result_set = stmnt.execute_query 'select * from users' ! while result_set.next result_set.get_object('ID') end
9. require 'java' ! java_import 'oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver' java_import 'java.sql.DriverManager' require 'sequel' ! class OracleConnection def initialize (user, passwd, host, port, sid) url = "jdbc:oracle:thin:#{user}/#{passwd}@#{host}:#{port}:#{sid}" @client = Sequel.connect url end ! def query sql @client.fetch(sql) end end The Sequel Way client = OracleConnection.new('...') client.query('select * from users').each do |row| # { # id: 1, # first_name: 'Harry', # last_name: 'Hurtig', # user_name: 'hhurtig', # } end
11. $ which java /usr/jdk/jdk1.6.0_51/bin/java ! $ wget http://jruby.org/.../jruby-bin-1.7.6.tar.gz $ tar zxf jruby-bin-1.7.6.tar.gz -C ~/jruby ! $ export PATH=~/jruby/bin:$PATH ! $ gem install bundler $ bundle install
12. Other Examples
16. Conclusion • Not only GC and Native Threads • Take advantage of “Java is everywhere” • Embrace the JVM ecosystem
