Faraday is an HTTP client library abstraction layer that provides a common interface over many adapters (such as Net::HTTP) and embraces the concept of Rack middleware when processing the request/response cycle. You probably don't want to use Faraday directly in your project, as it will lack an actual client library to perform requests. Instead, you probably want to have a look at Awesome Faraday for a list of available adapters. The best starting point is the Faraday Website, with its introduction and explanation. This library aims to support and is tested against the currently officially supported Ruby implementations. This means that, even without a major release, we could add or drop support for Ruby versions, following their EOL. Currently that means we support Ruby 2.6+. You can also install the faraday_middleware extension gem to access a collection of useful Faraday middleware.

Social networking, back in your hands. Follow friends and discover new ones among more than 4.4M people. Publish anything you want: links, pictures, text, video. All on a platform that is community-owned and ad-free. Mastodon isn’t a single website like Twitter or Facebook, it's a network of thousands of communities operated by different organizations and individuals that provide a seamless social media experience. Mastodon comes with effective anti-abuse tools to help protect yourself. Thanks to the network's spread out and independent nature there are more moderators who you can approach for personal help, and communities with strict codes of conduct. You have 500 characters. You can adjust the thumbnails of your pictures with focal points. You can use custom emojis, hide things behind spoiler warnings and choose who sees a given post. Messed it up? You can delete & redraft for quick corrections.

Your home feed should be filled with what matters to you most, not what a corporation thinks you should see. Radically different social media, back in the hands of the people. You know best what you want to see on your home feed. No algorithms or ads to waste your time. Follow anyone across any Mastodon server from a single account and receive their posts in chronological order, and make your corner of the internet a little more like you. Mastodon provides you with a unique possibility of managing your audience without middlemen. Mastodon deployed on your own infrastructure allows you to follow and be followed from any other Mastodon server online and is under no one's control but yours. Mastodon puts decision making back in your hands. Each server creates their own rules and regulations, which are enforced locally and not top-down like corporate social media, making it the most flexible in responding to the needs of different groups of people.

The online social world where you are in control. Instead of everyone’s data being held on huge central servers owned by a large organization, diaspora* exists on independently run servers (“pods”) all over the world. You choose which pod to register with, and you can then connect seamlessly with the diaspora* community worldwide. You can be whoever you want to be in diaspora*. Unlike some networks, you don’t have to use your real identity. You can interact with people in whatever way you choose. The only limit is your imagination. diaspora* is also Free Software, giving you liberty over how you use it. In diaspora* you own your data. You don’t sign over rights to a corporation or other interest who could use it. In addition, you choose who sees what you share, using Aspects. With diaspora*, your friends, your habits, and your content is your business, not ours!

AWS CodeDeploy is a fully managed deployment service that automates software deployments to a variety of compute services such as Amazon EC2, AWS Fargate, AWS Lambda, and your on-premises servers. AWS CodeDeploy makes it easier for you to rapidly release new features, helps you avoid downtime during application deployment, and handles the complexity of updating your applications. You can use AWS CodeDeploy to automate software deployments, eliminating the need for error-prone manual operations. The service scales to match your deployment needs. AWS CodeDeploy fully automates your software deployments, allowing you to deploy reliably and rapidly. You can consistently deploy your application across your development, test, and production environments whether deploying to Amazon EC2, AWS Fargate, AWS Lambda, or your on-premises servers. The service scales with your infrastructure.

Get started quickly using AWS with the AWS SDK for Ruby. The SDK helps take the complexity out of coding by providing Ruby classes for many AWS services including Amazon S3, Amazon EC2, DynamoDB, and more. The SDK is provided as individual downloadable packages for each AWS service, which include code and documentation. The SDK is also available through Ruby Gems. Version 3 of the AWS SDK for Ruby modularizes the monolithic SDK into service-specific gems, for example, aws-sdk-s3 and aws-sdk-dynamodb. Now each service gem uses strict semantic versioning, along with the benefits of continuous delivery of AWS API updates. With modularization, you can pick and choose which service gems your application or library requires, and update service gems independently of each other. You will need to configure credentials and a region, either in configuration files or environment variables, to make API calls. It is recommended that you provide these via your environment.

Middleman is a Ruby-powered static site generator that emphasizes clean templates, flexible layouts, and a great developer experience. It supports common templating languages (ERB, Haml, Slim) and content formats (Markdown, AsciiDoc), plus front-matter metadata to drive layouts, navigation, and per-page behavior. A built-in dev server with live reload keeps iteration fast, while an asset pipeline handles fingerprinting, minification, and cache-friendly builds. Extensions cover blogging, internationalization, sitemaps, data-driven pages, and external build steps, so complex sites remain manageable without server-side code. Because output is plain files, Middleman sites deploy anywhere—from object storage and CDNs to GitHub Pages—benefiting from high performance and low attack surface. Teams use it for marketing sites, docs, microsites, and prototypes where content and design matter more than dynamic backends.
