Rails Upgrades with AI: A Real-World Success Story
How a client's EMR application was moved from EOL Rails 7.1 to Rails 8 in days using the Rails Upgrade Skill for Anthropic's Claude.
I'm Mario Alberto, a software engineer and entrepreneur based in Colima, México. I'm the creator of Rails MCP Server and former CTO/co-founder of Aoorora, where I architected a core banking platform in Ruby on Rails that enabled lending startups to build on modern, secure infrastructure.
