Why Do Startups Use Ruby on Rails?

YEREVAN, Armenia - July 21, 2022 - PRLog -- There are a lot of successful startups who started their journey with Ruby on Rails. Big and established brands like Shopify, Hulu, Netflix, Twitter, and Airbnb have all used Ruby on Rails for their web development needs.

Ruby on Rails is a free, open-source web application development framework written in the Ruby programming language.

As it is quick and easy to develop Rails apps, RoR is the perfect solution for a startup developing a new product. This technology is stable, well-supported with a wealth of resources and a large community, and it's flexible enough to work for almost any web application.

Let's see why RoR is so startup-friendly.

Reduced Costs

Developing applications through Ruby on Rails is a cost-effective solution. It provides developers with all the features and functionality they need to build a high-quality product without having to use additional resources..

ROR also requires less code to be written, which means you can get your product to market faster and with fewer resources. On top of that, Ruby on Rails has a large community of developers who are constantly developing new plugins and modules that can be used to reduce development costs further.

Speed

With its expressive and concise syntax, ready-to-use modules and plugins, and the model-view-controller (MVC) structure RoR is built on, developers can quickly build out features and functionality without starting from scratch. This means startups can get their product to market faster.

Security

RoR has several built-in security features that help protect against common web application attacks, such as SQL Injection, Cross-Site Scripting (XSS), Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF), and Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR). These security features give startups peace of mind knowing that their app is secure and protected against common attacks.

Large Community

Ruby on Rails has an active and fast-growing community that is actively updating the technology and contributing to the progress of the software development industry. Ruby technology researchers, bloggers, and conference speakers organize regular meetups, and online forums where developers can ask questions, share ideas, and collaborate on projects.
