At JetRockets, Ruby on Rails isn’t just a technology choice, but the foundation of how we build, scale, and support long-term products for our clients. Sponsoring Tropical on Rails is a natural extension of that commitment.
Tropical on Rails plays a critical role in the Rails ecosystem. It creates space for real practitioners — engineers, founders, maintainers, and product leaders — to share hard-earned lessons, not just theory. These are conversations about scaling Rails applications, modernizing legacy systems, performance, security, and building sustainable teams around Rails. That kind of knowledge exchange directly strengthens the ecosystem we all rely on.
Supporting the people behind the framework
Open-source ecosystems don’t thrive on code alone. They thrive because of people who invest time, care, and leadership into keeping communities healthy. Conferences like Tropical on Rails give visibility to maintainers, encourage new contributors, and help ensure that Rails continues to evolve in thoughtful, pragmatic ways.
By sponsoring, we’re helping make that possible — especially for a global community. Tropical on Rails has a strong international presence, bringing together voices from different regions and backgrounds. That diversity of perspective makes Rails better, more resilient, and more relevant.
Staying close to where Rails is going
As a Rails-first consultancy, it’s important for us to stay close to what’s actually happening in the ecosystem. Not just trends, but real usage in production. Events like Tropical on Rails surface how teams are using modern Rails today: Hotwire, performance tuning, upgrades, AI integrations, and long-lived codebases.
Sponsorship isn’t about logos. It’s about staying engaged with the ideas, challenges, and directions that shape the future of the framework our clients depend on.
Giving back to what’s given us so much
JetRockets exists because Rails exists. The framework has enabled us to help founders launch products faster, support enterprises with complex platforms, and build systems that last for years — sometimes decades.
Sponsoring Tropical on Rails is one small way we give back to the ecosystem that has supported our growth as a company and as technologists.
Investing in long-term sustainability
Healthy ecosystems don’t happen by accident. They require consistent support, sponsorship, and participation from companies that benefit from them. We believe it’s our responsibility, especially as an established Rails consultancy, to help ensure that Rails remains strong, welcoming, and future-proof.
That’s why we’re proud to once again be a Gold Sponsor of Tropical on Rails, and why we’ll continue supporting the community that makes building with Rails such a powerful choice.
