Some clients wonder why we choose Ruby on Rails instead of alternative web frameworks and languages to build web apps. There are a variety of reasons for our decision, but before I get into the benefits of Ruby on Rails, let me first clarify what Ruby on Rails is.
What is Ruby on Rails?
Ruby on Rails (or "Rails") is a Ruby programming language-based open-source web application development framework. It\'s one of the most widely used Ruby libraries, and it\'s one of the main reasons developers learn Ruby.
Convention over configuration is a crucial principle of 
(henceforth referred to as "Rails"). This means that the programmer does not have to spend a lot of time customizing files to get started; Rails comes with a set of conventions that help developers work faster.
The emphasis on RESTful application architecture is another feature of Rails. The REST (Representational State Transfer) architecture style is built on the client-server relationship. It promotes programmers to have a logical structure so that they may be easily accessible as APIs (Application Programming Interface).
Modern online apps are often multi-layered and sophisticated. Rails simplifies web development by giving a pre-built development structure as well as everything you\'ll need to create a web project.
Ruby on Rails Architecture Overview
The MVC architecture is the foundation of Rails. The Modal View Controller (MVC) pattern is a software design paradigm for creating web applications. It is divided into three sections:
Modal- It is the pattern\'s lowest level, and it is in charge of data maintenance.
View- It is in charge of showing the viewer a piece of or all of the data.
Controller- The software code that manages interactions between Modal and View is known as the controller.
MVC helps with severance of concerns by detaching the application logic from the user interface layer. The controller is the hub of the programmer, receiving requests and working with Modal to provide the appropriate results, which are subsequently shown by View.
Ruby on Rails Development Benefits
So, what\'s the big deal with Ruby on Rails? This back-end framework contains a few compelling features that no developer should overlook. When all of them are merged, the development time is cut in half and the process is more efficient.
For projects, Ruby on Rails development has a number of advantages:
- Extensive ecosystem
- Ruby on Rails MVC
- Consistency and clean code
- DRY
- High scalability
- Security
- Time and cost efficiency
- RAD
- Self-documentation
- Test environment
- Convention over configuration
- Extensive ecosystem
Many businesses that begin using Rails continue to use it. However, there are a few drawbacks that lead some businesses to adopt other technology.
Our choice of Rails is primarily a matter of personal preference; we find that it facilitates the speedy development of dynamic web applications.
