Ruby on Rails in 2025
Rails has a ton of competition with other frameworks, but here’s 3 reasons to choose Rails in 2025:
- Developer Productivity: So much of how Rails works is based on making your development teams as productive as possible. Good default settings and a healthy ecosystem with standard tools all contribute to allowing developers to move quickly.
- Cost: Out-of-the-box tools like Kamal give you options for how you deploy your application. This provides a pathway from running on a platform like Heroku, moving to AWS, and growing into your own infrastructure if desired.
- Full Stack Framework: Rails includes everything you need to build your backend, frontend , and even deploy to native devices. With Rails, you don’t need to include a completely separate ecosystem like React native your you don’t want to. This has a the distinct benefit of highly leveraging your developers as they are less constrained in what they can work on.
What do you think? Is Rails meeting your needs or is there anything missing?
