Our Ruby on Rails Development Services Rating
Excellent
4.4
Rails is used to build a variety of versatile web applications, including e-commerce platforms, social networking sites, content management systems, subscription services, SaaS platforms, financial and healthcare applications, educational platforms, marketplace solutions, real estate websites, community forums, and blogs.
Released in 2005, Rails has quickly become a favorite among developers and businesses. Originally created by David Heinemeier Hansson while developing Basecamp, he recognized the potential of the code and structures to form a standalone framework. Rails introduced influential concepts like “Convention over Configuration” and “Don’t Repeat Yourself,” which have been embraced by other frameworks. It powers major platforms such as GitHub, Airbnb, Shopify, SoundCloud, Hulu, and Twitch. The Rails community is vibrant, offering extensive support, documentation, tutorials, and plugins. Additionally, the Rails ecosystem features a rich array of “gems,” which are reusable libraries that extend the framework’s capabilities.
