Bundle install in parallel

Posted . Visible to the public. Linked content.

Gave a shot to the new Bundler 1.4.0RC1 during the weekend and found out it now supports gem installation in parallel. To invoke you need to pass --jobs parameter with number of threads you want it to run – for me the best performance was achieved by specifying the number physical CPU cores.

I've tested on the AppFab Show archive.org snapshot app. In my case (CPU with 2-core i7 with HT) the speedup was 50%. I've also tried with a number greater than the number of physical cores but the performance was 15%-20% worse.

Bundler 1.3.5

➜  appfab git:(master) bundle --version
Bundler version 1.3.5

➜  appfab git:(master) time bundle install --path=vendor/
      483.44 real       126.23 user        39.96 sys

Bundler 1.4.0RC1

gem update bundler —pre

➜  appfab git:(master) bundle --version 
Bundler version 1.4.0.rc.1 

➜  appfab git:(master) time bundle install --jobs 2 --path=vendor/ 
      234.65 real       136.37 user        42.40 sys

Happy coding.

Database: Scopes, migrations, and indices

Wether you modify an existing named scope or add a new one, or when you write a new query, make sure you have the proper indices.

Add indexes on foreign keys when you create a migration (with foreign key)

Whenever you make a migration to add a foreign key, you should also add an index for it

    add_column :comments, :user_id, :integer
    add_index :comments, :user_id
  end

To avoid using bundle exec or creating rvm gemsets

  1. Add to the end your .bash_profile export PATH="./vendor/bundle/bin:$PATH"
  2. Also add alias bi="bundle install --path vendor/bundle --binstubs=vendor/bundle/bin"
  3. Then to bundle install next time just use bi
