Ruby on Rails

Meet Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails is an open-source framework for building web applications in Ruby. It organizes application code around models, views, and controllers, with shared conventions for routing, database access, and page rendering. Developers can generate a project structure, define data models with Active Record, and connect requests to HTML pages or JSON responses without assembling every part of the stack separately.

Rails includes tools for email, background jobs, file uploads, and real-time updates, while Hotwire supports interactive interfaces built around server-rendered HTML. Database migrations, automated testing, and command-line generators help teams develop and maintain an application as it grows. Its conventions suit developers who want an integrated approach to building database-backed products and are comfortable working within the framework’s established patterns.
