Boost came to grips with our project’s requirements and quickly and effectively developed a solution that met our needs.
Ruby on Rails is a framework for web application development. It’s written in Ruby, a programming language designed to make development productive and fun.
Released in 2004, it’s since been used on millions of sites including the likes of Airbnb, GitHub, Shopify and Basecamp.
Here at Boost we specifically chose Ruby on Rails for building transactional web applications because it gives our clients the best balance of rapid development and robust engineering. Why’s that, you say? I’m glad you asked.
You get working software quickly. You can then test this with your customers, tweak as required, and repeat the process. Because it lets you deliver value early and often, Ruby on Rails is ideal for Agile development.
Ruby on Rails makes this rapid development possible because it simplifies and automates repetitive tasks, favours convention over configuration, and can call on many thousands of ready-to-use code modules known as gems.
Because it’s a mature, open-source platform with a culture of quality, Ruby on Rails is stable, secure and well-maintained.
On top of that, Ruby on Rails uses a model–view–controller framework which gives you a solid but flexible base on which to build your app. This base is set up to accommodate future development and increasing complexity.
With Ruby on Rails, it’s easy to maintain your application.
The large Rails community means you’re not locked into using a single Ruby on Rails development company. Plus, it’s easy for developers to pick up new projects. That’s because Ruby on Rails is largely self-documenting — developers can easily understand what someone else’s code does.
