When to use Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails is best suited to creating database-backed web applications. Examples include:

  • Data warehousing and mining
  • Statistics reporting
  • Management systems
  • Collaborative applications
  • Community sites
  • E-commerce applications
  • Content management systems

Ruby on Rails has so many applications that it is easier to tell when not to use it:

  • If you are creating an operating system
  • If you have no database to connect to
  • You don't need a web front-end
