Ruby on Rails as Back-end frameworks.

Full Stack Software means solid Back-end, Front-end and an amazing User Interface (UI). There are many different Back-end frameworks like Spring, Django, Meteor, Ruby on Rails. In this post we will see why one should choose Ruby on Rails (RoR).

What is Ruby on Rails?

Ruby on Rails (RoR) is open source software. It’s free to use, one can also help make it better. RoR is a popular web framework for web application development built on the Ruby programming language. Its main advantages over other frameworks are in the speed, the best industry standards, it’s vibrant RoR community and ease of development that it offers. Developers can make changes to an application without going through the web development lifecycle.

Performance

Ruby on Rails (RoR) frameworks is an object-oriented and dynamically typed languages and very flexible. Even though the performance of a web app can be measure base on many factors that influence the overall performance of a web app, RoR will gives you a bit better performance. RoR has a magic that gives the developers a lot of flexibilities and time saving.

Speed of Development

RoR is well-developed system of modules, generator scripts, and an efficient package management system that allows scaffolding a complex application in just a few commands.
You can use scaffold to build a structured Rail Project with a set of automatically generated files which forms the basic structure of a Rails Project.

For example

If you generate your scaffolding like this, you’ll have 3 fields to work with.
A title, an author, and a publication year.

You can undo the previous command by this

Rails is build with Ruby which has many open-source libraries(gems) for any purpose.
As an added bonus, Rails ships with a default ORM system (ActiveRecord), which helps developers quickly put application and data logic together and deploy a fully functional prototype to be expanded with new features later.

Industry Standards

Ruby on Rails guides developers into their way of doing things. It promotes the best standards and practices of web development. Rails philosophy is the DRY (Don’t Repeat Yourself) principle that ensures a clear separation of concerns and maintainability of an application. The framework embraces the principle of ‘convention over configuration’.

Rails is also built around the MVC (Model-View-Controller) philosophy that promotes modularity and extensibility of your applications. This means that no matter how complex your application is, it can be easily extended with new features and business logic.

Community

The community that grows up around a programming language is one of its most important strengths. Ruby has a vibrant and growing community that is friendly towards people of all skill levels. As an open-source web framework Rails is supported by a vibrant community of talented developers. Rails’s ecosystem contains many “gems” that can be incorporated into any project. Rails developers are interested in the constant improvement of the code base and incorporation of new functionalities. As a result, with Rails, there is no need to reinvent the wheel in your projects.
