The tool we choose to <strong> build <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/dictionary\/how-to-build-an-mvp\/\">MVP<\/a><\/strong> is crucial to reduce waste.<\/p>\n<h2>Why should you choose Ruby on Rails?<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/case-studies\/providing-a-team-of-ruby-developers-for-a-fintech-company\/\">Ruby<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/blog\/ways-to-increase-your-rails-performance\/\">Rails<\/a><\/strong> is a well-known <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/blog\/find-your-ideal-stack-for-web-development\/\">web<\/a> application framework with more than 15 years of trajectory and a strong community behind.<\/p>\n<h3>Philosophy<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/case-studies\/delivering-ruby-on-rails-talent-for-fast-integration\/\">Ruby on Rails<\/a><\/strong> follows a philosophy that allows fast development facilitating trivial and repetitive tasks; the <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/dictionary\/how-to-lead-software-development-team\/\">team<\/a> mainly focuses on the business challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <b>Open Source<\/b>: <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/dictionary\/what-is-code-refactoring\/\">Code<\/a> designed to be publicly accessible anyone can see, modify, and distribute the code as they see fit. Often cheaper, more flexible, and has more longevity because it is developed by communities rather than a single author or company.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <b>The Principle of Least Surprise<\/b>: Inspired by <strong>Ruby<\/strong>; while working with Rails everything behaves as the <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/blog\/hire-vue-js-developers\/\">developer<\/a> expects. Rails is designed to provide different ways to perform the same tasks in the most intuitive and elegant way.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <b>Don\u2019t Repeat Yourself<\/b>: It involves whenever possible, re-using as much code as possible rather than duplicating similar code in multiple places.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <b>Convention over Configuration<\/b>: It is an extension of the concept of a default, a setting or value automatically assigned without user intervention. Some software systems, notably <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/blog\/java-software-development-essentials-a-guide-to-outsourcing-successfully\/\">Java<\/a> web application frameworks, need multiple configuration files, each with many settings.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <b>Rails is Opinionated<\/b>: <strong>Rails<\/strong> uses a set of well established conventions. If the team members follow the Rails conventions, they will have fewer decisions to make, and they will find more of what is needed is already built. The benefit is faster development, improved collaboration, and easier maintenance.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <b>Rails is Omakase<\/b>: Omakase is a Japanese phrase that means \u201cI\u2019ll leave it to you\u201d. Where Convention over Configuration is occupied with how we best use individual frameworks, Omakase is concerned with which frameworks, and how they fit together, preventing the team from making wrong decisions while choosing the tech stack.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <b>Value integrated systems<\/b>: A whole system that addresses an entire problem. This means Rails is concerned with everything from the front-end to the back-end.<\/p>\n<h3>Community<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Ruby language<\/strong> is simple, productive, and elegant with an experienced, supportive, and dedicated community; placed in the top 10 of popular languages in <a href=\"https:\/\/redmonk.com\/sogrady\/2021\/03\/01\/language-rankings-1-21\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">The RedMonk Programming Language Rankings: January 2021<\/a> Over the years the community created plenty of resources to improve performance, quality and accelerate development. Some of the resources are backed by big companies like Shopify and GitHub.<\/p>\n<p>Popular resources:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   ActiveAdmin \u2013 Administration framework for Rails,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   Devise \u2013 Flexible authentication engine for Rails,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   Byebug \u2013 Rich debugging tool for Ruby,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   Pundit \u2013 Minimal authorization through OO design for Ruby,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   RSpec \u2013 TDD and BDD framework for Ruby,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   Pay \u2013 Payment engine for Rails,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   Simplecov \u2013 Code coverage tool for Ruby,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   and Spree \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/blog\/top-programming-languages-to-build-e-commerce\/\">E-commerce<\/a> platform for Rails.<\/p>\n<h3>Influence<\/h3>\n<p>Rails came to life to change the perspective of <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/dictionary\/what-is-full-stack-web-development\/\">web development<\/a> popularizing the use of Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture, engines, generators, preprocessors and conventions. Modern mainstream frameworks adopted the philosophy and core ideas behind and since the Rails way to develop spreaded among different communities, many developers know how Rails works even without ever having used the technology.<\/p>\n<p>Popular admirers and inheritors:<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/blog\/hire-django-developers\/\">Django<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/dictionary\/what-is-python-good-for\/\">Python<\/a>,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/blog\/advantages-of-laravel-services-for-your-business\/\">Laravel<\/a> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/dictionary\/how-to-hire-a-php-developer\/\">PHP<\/a>,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   Phoenix &#8211; Elixir,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   ASP.NET MVC &#8211; C#,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   Yii Framework &#8211; PHP<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf   and Sails.js &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/dictionary\/why-is-javascript-so-popular\/\">Javascript<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>A friend of MVP<\/h2>\n<p>Rails comes by design with a set of tools that will accelerate the development of your MVP and reduce waste.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <b>Generator<\/b>: During the development it\u2019s often needed to create models, controllers and views while using the MVC pattern. Rails makes it easy with generators; with a plenty list of generators the team saves time generating all the necessary files and code using the command line tool. Even more, the team can create custom generators to accelerate repetitive tasks.<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <b>Engine<\/b>: Small applications that provide specific functionality and enhance a Rails application. With engines the team can start the application development fast and focus on the business. Good examples of engines are <b>Devise <\/b>(Authentication), <b>Spree<\/b> (E-Commerce) and <b>Thredded <\/b>(Forum).<\/p>\n<p>\u25cf <b>Object Relational Mapping<\/b>: Active Record provides an easy, elegant and intuitive way to work with business objects and databases without writing SQL statements directly. As mentioned in Rails documentation, with Active Record we have the ability to<\/p>\n<p>\u25cb represent models and their <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/blog\/app-data-collection-security-risks-value-and-types-explored\/\">data<\/a>,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cb represent associations between these models,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cb represent inheritance hierarchies through related models,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cb validate models before they get persisted to the<br \/>\ndatabase,<\/p>\n<p>\u25cb perform database operations in an object-oriented<br \/>\n fashion.<\/p>\n<h2>Success stories<\/h2>\n<p>Airbnb as many other startups started from the ground up. Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia hadn\u2019t enough money to pay the rent increment that occurred in San Francisco. Since San Francisco is a city with many tech conferences they decided to add an air mattress in a free space of their apartment and rent it with free breakfast. They noticed the potential of the idea and later Nathan Blecharczyk joined the team. With only three members and limited resources they decided to kickstart their <a href=\"https:\/\/thecodest.co\/en\/dictionary\/why-do-projects-fail\/\">project<\/a> with an MVP using the right tool, <strong>Ruby on Rails<\/strong>.
