Ruby On Rails Reviews & Product Details
Ruby on Rails, often referred to as Rails, is an open-source web application framework written in Ruby. It emphasizes convention over configuration (CoC) and the don't repeat yourself (DRY) principle, aiming to simplify and accelerate web development by providing default structures for a database, a web service, and web pages. Rails enables developers to use a model-view-controller (MVC) pattern to organize application programming. Its rich ecosystem of gems (libraries) allows for rapid development of complex web applications.

If you are writing a big enough webapp I believe it's a good framework. It makes it easier to get started without configuring anything and it gives you a very good mvc based directory structure which can be a pain to configure for frameworks like Sinatra. There are lots of libraries that support ruby on rails integration out of the box so that's always a good thing. Another good thing about Ruby on Rails is the community. You can almost always find a solution to any problem that you are looking for and that makes development a lot faster. And I love the generators that come with the framework; boy do they save time!
Personally I don't like to start with so many things in my app. I have developed both using Ruby on Rails and Sinatra; my first instinct is to use Sinatra, because it's simply a very lightweight framework and I can configure/add things as I need them.
I am a developer and I have developed several services using Ruby on Rails. I have used it in the past to create some very large services, serving millions of people. It's a perfect framework for a startup and makes the development process easier for developers.
Very convenient, lots of libraries for most use-cases
Dynamic typing is error-prone and not expressive enough
Doing intranet services. The main benefit is the quick prototyping
The Ruby on Jets is a new framework which is similar to Ruby on Rails. The jets framework gives us the extensive power to create serverless applications and it's deployment.
Since the framework was introduced lately, the implementation examples and lack of proper documentation was a point of pain for us.
Ruby on Jets The implementation of microservices architecture was very easy with this framework. Since each of its controller will be considered and deployed as a single lambda function.
