Ruby on Rails
Also known as: Ruby on Rails / Rails / レイルズ
A full-stack Ruby web framework following convention over configuration (CoC) and DRY principles. It ships with MVC architecture, ActiveRecord ORM, and RESTful routing out of the box for high development velocity.
Overview
Rails enables rapid CRUD, authentication, and email functionality with minimal code, making it popular for startups and MVP development. The scaffold generator automates boilerplate creation.
Current Adoption
GitHub, Shopify, and Airbnb were all built on Rails. The Hotwire approach to reactive UIs has renewed interest in non-SPA development patterns with Rails as the backbone.
