Supercharging Ruby Applications with Foreign Function Interface

Ruby is beautiful and easy to work with, but sometimes it’s slow in some use cases. This talk shows how to use Ruby’s Foreign Function Interface (FFI) to integrate C and other performant languages for those performance-critical moments, keeping Ruby’s elegance while getting the speed you need under the hood. Real examples, practical patterns, and production-proven techniques included.
