Why You Should Opt for Ruby on Rails Application Development for Your Project?

One of the important factors for your project to thrive is the language that you choose for your project. However, the selection of language, too, depends on several factors like the availability of libraries, scalability, cost of frameworks that can potentially reduce development time, level of support, etc. These days, a lot of companies including startups as well as well-established firms prefer Ruby on Rails application development as their primary framework for development. 

Based on the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern, Ruby on Rails or RoR allows multiple developers to work on the same app simultaneously, with each developer working on a separate piece of functionality. 

 

What makes RoR the first preference for web programming?

 

  1. Close to a natural language.

 RoR is really close to English thus making it easy to read, comprehend and work with. However, it also uses its own domain-specific language extending RoR’s semantics. RoR’s team has made sure that domain-specific language is used only in certain instances, making the framework easier to work with. 

 

  1. Rich collection of libraries that facilitate and speed up development.

RoR works on “convention over configuration” philosophy. The framework is formulated in such a way that the developer has to make minimal decisions all the while maintaining the flexibility and customization of the website. 

To further reduce the development time RoR comes with easily configurable components and multiple reusabilities. 

 

  1. Includes options for test automation.

RoR provides an additional option for combined testing that scrutinizes the code quality while it is being written.  Therefore, there is minimal room for third-party testing tools. As you create a Rails project incorporating rails new application_name, the framework creates a test directory. Every Rails application has by default three environments: development, production, and test. 

 

  1. Mature and stable framework.

Ruby on Rails development possesses well-established coding agreements making it easier for the developers to join projects that have accumulated a lot of legacy code. It also provides opportunities for code refactoring and extending the apps by adding new features to the existing code. 

 

  1. Scalable.

Ruby on Rails application development is ideal for scaling a product. Most importantly RoR supports catching out of the box, enabling you to view fragment caching within your app’s code and also use Redis as a cache-store. Rails also allows you to use the cloud infrastructure Chef, which is written in RoR. A Chef helps you to manage infrastructure dependencies, update system or bootstrap the entire system configurations with minimal commands. 

 

To sum up, RoR as a web development framework has reached maturity and will continue to grow and become further stable. Combined with its scalability it makes a good fit for enterprise-level applications. Companies like Suma Soft have expertise in working with Ruby on Rails application development, thus providing their clients satisfactory results. With the combined efforts of developers who constantly contribute to RoR’s open-source libraries assures that RoR will remain a top-notch preference for several types of web development in the upcoming years.
