[Jruby-extras-devel] [jruby-user] Case Studies: What are you doing with JRuby/JRuby on Rails

[Ryan Bell]

We use JRuby for realtime ETL between our products transactional database
and the operational database. JRuby allows us to quickly and easily
customize the data transformations to meet specific client's operational
needs. We can also use JRuby scripts to republish data for various reasons.
Since it's JRuby, we can either push data onto the JMS queue from the
transactional side, or extract and re-purpose it directly from the
operational database.

Although it hasn't been done in production yet, we have used JRuby to send
data to other targets (CSV files and WebServices).

Also, currently in development, are some in-house tools for data
transformation and at least one JRuby based DSL has been proposed to replace
a custom "builder" style language currently written in Java.

What excites me about 1.0? Performance. I can't wait to see how the JIT
stuff will impact our production application.
