Hi all,
Here is the summary of today's meetup.
We started with Sagar Junnarkar's talk on Vagrant. He talked about how
vagrant can help to keep both development and production in sync and
also showed the process of setting up VM to running a app from guest
machine.

After that Santosh Wadghule talked on Middlewares in Rails. He started
with Rails request/response cycle and went through all the middlewares
used while handling a Rails request. He also explained what is the
purpose of each middleware. Rack and Rack Builder to create custom
middlewares were also discussed.

extension. He also showed some benchmarks comparing same code from
Ruby and C extension. The code examples can be found here -
