StimulusReflex vs Lift Framework: What are the differences?
Developers describe StimulusReflex as "Build modern, reactive, real-time apps with Ruby on Rails". It is an exciting new way to build modern, reactive, real-time apps with Ruby on Rails It eliminates the complexity imposed by full-stack frontend frameworks. And, it's fast.
It works seamlessly with the Rails tooling you already know and love.. On the other hand, Lift Framework is detailed as "The most powerful, most secure web framework available today". Lift creates abstractions that allow easier expression of business logic and then maps those abstractions to HTTP and HTML. This approach differs from traditional web frameworks which build abstractions on top of HTTP and HTML and require the developer to bridge between common business logic patterns and the underlying protocol.
StimulusReflex and Lift Framework belong to "Frameworks (Full Stack)" category of the tech stack.
Some of the features offered by StimulusReflex are:
- Server-rendered HTML, delivered in miliseconds over the wire via Websockets
- ERB templates and partials, with first-class ViewComponent support
- Russian doll caching and ActiveJob

- Secure
- Developer centric
- Designer friendly
