Code.

Gardenbed installs all of the tools that are necessary to deploy a Ruby on Rails application to a VPS.

We use Rails to power most of our APIs and internal services.

Web has always been in Rails from the beginning, so we used Redis for caching our items, which we had, from the beginning. Rails is kind of what we were comfortable with, and we knew we wanted the front end to be really, really snappy, so we de-normalized all the item attributes into Redis, and that's how it got served out.

Database is a fixtures file, loaded into ActiveRecord, cleaned up, compressed. Javascript code is generated by exporting JSON.

We use Rails for webpages and projects, not for backend services. Actually if you click through our website, you won't notice it but you're clicking though, I think, seven or eight different Rails projects. We tie those all together with a front-end library that we wrote, which basically makes sure that you have a consistent experience over all these different Rails apps.

It's a gem, we call it Karmeleon. It's not a gem that we released. It's an internal gem. Basically what it does is it makes sure that we have a consistent layout across multiple Rails apps. Then we can share stuff like a menu bar or footer or that kind of stuff.

So if we start a new front end project it's always a Rails application. We pull in the Karmeleon gem with all our styling stuff and then basically the application is almost ready to be deployed. That would be an empty page, but you would still have top bar, footer, you have some custom components that you can immediately use. So it kind of bootstraps our entire project to be a front end project.

Services that require a short iteration cycle, or any proof-of-concept work.

Rails is one of the easiest frameworks to use for API development.

Our monolithic application. Its the core of our stack.

The first live version of Leanstack was actually a WordPress site. There wasn’t a whole lot going on at first. We had static pages with static content that needed to be updated manually. Then came the concept of user-generated content and we made the switch to a full on Rails app in November of last year. Nick had a lot of experience with Rails so that made the decision pretty easy. But I had also played around with Rails previously and was comfortable working with it. I also knew I’d need to hire engineers with a lot more experience building web apps than I do, so I wanted to go with a language and framework other people would have experience with. Also, the sheer number of gems and tools available for Rails is pretty amazing (shout to RubyToolbox ).

I don’t see us ever having to move away from Rails really, but I could be wrong. Leanstack was built in Rails 3. For StackShare we decided to upgrade to Rails 4. Biggest issue with that has been caching. DHH decided to remove the standard page and action caching in favor of key-based caching (source)[http://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/caching_with_rails.html#page-caching]. Probably a good thing from a framework-perspective. But pretty shitty to have to learn about that after testing out your new app and realizing nothing is cached anymore :( We’ll need to spend some more time implementing "Russian Doll Caching", but for now we’ve got a random mixture of fragment and action caching (usually one or the other) based on which pages are most popular.

Well-established framework for rapid development of web apps. Huge repository of good integrated 3rd party libraries (Gems)

Rails allows us fast prototyping.

Using Rails as a go to thing for creating API's or full blown web apps. Love writing Ruby, convention over configuration style is great and it has a tons of gems and community behind it :)

Rails makes it easy to build out sophisticated Web apps quickly, without re-inventing the wheel for each of our clients. SmartLogic ♥ Rails!

7 years of Rails development experience and project management.

Backend business logic

I work with Rails all the time, since 2011.

Backend and API.

Rails powers enlist's API.

Rails is our product's backend app. It handles user registration/logging, product's logic and Inspector communication with our users' devices.

Rails is used for some endpoints of our Frontend API. Though there are talks of deprecating it.

To save time and build great web apps

robust, fast, and easy MVC for Ruby. Now I've found it, i'm in love.

Rails 5 (beta 3) provided a nice structure for rendering responses, linking to front-end assets (compiled previously via Webpack), handling sessions w/ tailor made login links via an email button/token, background jobs, and creating an admin behind basic auth to allow managing of users and purchases.

Framework for building our MVP web app.

Backend micro-services REST API implementation

Application framework.

Used as the API endpoints connecting my database to the client's browser.

We use Rails as our Goto framework for systems build.

Rails API

PRS UI app is built in Rails (originally a proof of concept which has now become the primary tool for interaction with the PRS API).

Our API is built on Rails.

As a web app developer, all of my web apps have been built with Rails.

Backend Code

My personal website is built entirely in Ruby on Rails. Apart from the actual website, there is also an CMS behind it supporting several third-party integrations (eg Embedly, Instagram API etc).

Built http://fube.io

Rails was simple to develop on, and the programming is very straightforward.

Build a dashboard for certified users.

We're a full-stack Rails shop.

A Ruby environment that takes on all the heavy lifting. Install Ruby on Rails, and create a working web app with a single command line. No brainer.

For this project rails was ideal due to new features introduced in Rails 5 that allowed us to build a lightweight "API only" project. Developer familiarity and the ability to rapidly iterate, as well as providing an accessible testing framework were additional factors.

Old but gold

Microservices

Bitödeme integrations RESTFul API uses Ruby on Rails to process API requests

Go with Ruby for Web Applications

Used for searching for doctors, adding articles, recipes, videos. Filtering by tags and categories.

3+ years experience (working remotely)

Rails is my specialty framework. It's efficient and fast, and easy to use.
