The Ruby on Jets is a new framework which is similar to Ruby on Rails. The jets framework gives us the extensive power to create serverless applications and it's deployment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Since the framework was introduced lately, the implementation examples and lack of proper documentation was a point of pain for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ruby on Rails has been growing in the last five years and it's a popular solution to build web applications. You can build agile solutions on the development. This feature makes Ruby on Rails a great tool for many companies around the world where the time it's equivalent to money.

Ruby on Rails it's an on-demand framework love it by experimented and non-experimented developers where we want to simplify common and repetitive tasks easily you can reuse existing components this feature lets you save much time.

Another feature that I love it's the way to implement gems easily you can build great solutions in a lower time.

You can create Unitary Tests using RSpec or web functionality with Capybara or Sellenium. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the things that I being facing this time using Ruby on Rails and I hate it; it's where you want to read or write the database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about this web framework is how fast I can make a page or web application using ruby ​​programming language and simultaneously handle the frontend and backend as a single in the same environment; this makes it agile and magical.

Also, over the years, I have made this tool part of my day-to-day functions at work since I do not need more tools to interact with the database or the console of my project; if not, I can achieve this in the same environment.

It is a tool that integrates with any operating system but for me it is more comfortable to use it in Linux operating systems such as CentOS or Ubuntu, they are the two distributions that I use and at the moment it is easy to configure and to be able to prepare the environment which makes it even friendlier and the best option when selecting an IDE for projects in Ruby or Rails.

what I don't like sometimes is the handling of javascript and some javascript gems that don't work well, but in new versions this has been improving.

Another issue is the cost, perhaps some developers cannot buy it at first, which makes it a tool for companies, there should be a version for independent developers with low resources or who are just starting out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ruby on Rails is a great framework for building RESTful apps. It's extremely intuitive and easy to use and read. You can build powerful apps with just a few commands, and setting up a database for your API is extremely simple. Also the community is amazingly helpful, and given that Ruby is so popular nowadays most of the problems you'll come in contact with have an easy-to-follow solution online, just a couple of clicks away. There are also a lot of great talks on youtube by Robert C. Martin (Uncle Bob) on Ruby, Rails and RESTful apps which are really easy to follow and cover everything on the subject.

I can't say there's much I dislike about Ruby on Rails. My only issue is downloading and setting everything up to use on my workstations, but once that's dealt with everything's smooth sailing from there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

They bring "magic" to the framework that it is hard to control when the app becomes bigger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One of the great things about Ruby on rails is that it is so easy to read other peoples code.

I also love that there are so many great library is that you can plug-in to really enhance your code velocity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think that there are some languages like elixir which have better tools for debugging. But overall with a lot of the rails library’s, it has everything that I need on a day-to-day basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is a wealth of documentation and community support out there for getting up to speed with Ruby on Rails (RoR) quickly. Most of the ideas you can think of for a new application already have gems / plugins / tutorials that show you exactly how to get what you want without writing a lot of code. In many cases, you can write some code that is your best guess as to how something should work, and it will cover 80% of the cases you need to handle, thus giving you a minimally viable product (MVP) you can bring to market quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although you can get 80% of what you want quickly, the remaining 20% takes 2x to 4x more time to get than with any other solution we've tried.

Both Ruby (the language) and Rails (the framework) were written assuming that they would be used only very specific ways. As your project -- no matter what project it is -- grows, those assumptions no longer fit your use case, and you find yourself fighting the language and framework more than it is helping you. RoR makes it very easy to keep adding scope to your MVP to the point where you have so much technical debt that you end up having to rewrite everything. What was once fast and easy for you to iterate on is now very slow and hard to maintain. It is very easy to get into but hard to master; consequently, it's hard to find qualified RoR talent without paying 2x what it costs for Java Enterprise developers. In short, RoR does not scale as your business scales; it becomes an albatross.

Lastly, we hate that it only really runs well on Linux. It barely runs at all on Windows, requiring our team members that use Windows to run a VM just to work with Rails. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance is not that good when the application grows and reaches scales of millions of users. If the app is big, it takes a lot of time doing simple stuff. So it's like a trade-off between performance and ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
