## AI overview

Shopify describes running the latest revision of Rails in production and continuously integrating upstream changes into its Core monolith. This approach reduces upgrade effort, exposes edge cases through a large CI test suite, and encourages contributions to Rails and related projects. A bot named Solid Track automates weekly Rails updates.
