Ruby On Rails Reviews & Product Details

Ruby On Rails Overview
What is Ruby On Rails?

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.

What do you like best about Ruby On Rails?

The community surrounding Rails is vast. This provides a great array of tools that people have built to make developing for Rails much easier. It also means there are people using Rails in a wide range of applications. This feeds back into Rails development, making it a tool that works in many situations. Rails also has a vibrant testing culture. This makes for more reliable products that are well built. It is so easy to do TDD using Rails. This has saved me many hours of hair pulling as every aspect of the products is tested. Overall TDD has improved our release cadence and reduced our code churn significantly.

What do you dislike about Ruby On Rails?

The Long Term Support is lagging behind what one would expect from a paid product. This is obviously because it is an open source community maintaining the product. However there are paid solutions people can buy into for LTS.

What problems is Ruby On Rails solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are working to solve problems relating to Christian Ministry as it interacts with technology. As the most significant advancement since the printing press, computers are simplifying the way we do donor management, outreach, internal communication and much more. With so many cool things we could make to advance the cause of Christianity, we needed a tool which would enable us to do rapid, reliable software engineering. Rails has provided us with the capacity to write fast, write once, write TDD software.

I'm biased a lot with Rails, so everything looks good to me.

"Ruby on Rails is a high productivity framework aimed at web developers"
What do you like best about Ruby On Rails?

Rails favors convention over configuration. This means that, out of the box, it suits a lot of the modern web developer needs. We have used it for both API servicing a single page app, microservices, and traditional Rails app. The defaults are very sane and aimed at giving everyone a good experience.

What do you dislike about Ruby On Rails?

With such a huge project, it can be hard to get into open source contributions. Rails tries really hard to fix this, but it's still a reality.

What problems is Ruby On Rails solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have shipped traditional applications, single page applications, micro-services, etc. We server high expectation SaaS space.

"Ruby on Rails is an excellent tool that accelerates development."
What do you like best about Ruby On Rails?

It allows us to quickly build out, test, and iterate on features. This is enabled by convention over configuration, a great open source community with a ton of gems, and easy-to-setup hosting platforms.

What do you dislike about Ruby On Rails?

Community gems are unreliable and often become outdated and abandoned by the original developers. Ruby is slow and scaling to meet the needs of a growing user-base is expensive.

What problems is Ruby On Rails solving and how is that benefiting you?

Call tracking, intelligent routing, and analytics. We were able to build out a product and bring it to market very quickly for minimal cost.

"Excellent web development framework for your agile and fast projects"
What do you like best about Ruby On Rails?

What I like most about this web framework is how fast I can make a page or web application using ruby ​​programming language and simultaneously handle the frontend and backend as a single in the same environment; this makes it agile and magical. Also, over the years, I have made this tool part of my day-to-day functions at work since I do not need more tools to interact with the database or the console of my project; if not, I can achieve this in the same environment. It is a tool that integrates with any operating system but for me it is more comfortable to use it in Linux operating systems such as CentOS or Ubuntu, they are the two distributions that I use and at the moment it is easy to configure and to be able to prepare the environment which makes it even friendlier and the best option when selecting an IDE for projects in Ruby or Rails.

What do you dislike about Ruby On Rails?

what I don't like sometimes is the handling of javascript and some javascript gems that don't work well, but in new versions this has been improving. Another issue is the cost, perhaps some developers cannot buy it at first, which makes it a tool for companies, there should be a version for independent developers with low resources or who are just starting out

What problems is Ruby On Rails solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have made several applications in the company and this framework has helped us a lot to speed up these developments and at the same time to have a quality product and more now with the management of APIs

"Easy to host and build. Best webapp framework"
What do you like best about Ruby On Rails?

Very Easy to learn. Even beginners can design well functional websites with-in a few days using Ruby on Rails. There are very good tutorials for your help. Development is very fast compared to other frameworks. Very supportive and active community. Regular updates on Ruby on Rails Free Third Party Packages (GEMS) Building Minimum viable product is very time efficient. Great testing support

What do you dislike about Ruby On Rails?

Performance is not that good when the application grows and reaches scales of millions of users. If the app is big, it takes a lot of time doing simple stuff. So it's like a trade-off between performance and ease of use.

What problems is Ruby On Rails solving and how is that benefiting you?

I used Ruby on Rails for a couple of projects. One of them was to design a portal for automatic synchronization of data center inventory. I spent less than one week to set up the whole system and able to design a working solution as most of the desired functionalities were available in terms of libraries. Feasibility testing was also very easy and development was very fast.

"Ruby on Rails"
What do you like best about Ruby On Rails?

It has a logical MVC framework that has a LOT of features.

What do you dislike about Ruby On Rails?

It's so fully featured it can be hard to know if what you are looking for already exists as some one line command. Most of my time was spent figuring out if something was already implemented internally.

What problems is Ruby On Rails solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were making a single page internal monitoring application.
