Get Over Ruby on Rails — 3 Alternative Web Frameworks Worth Checking Out

1

Ruby on Rails

Disclaimer: I started working on this article before the big controversy about Basecamp happened. I don’t want to make any point about this in the article. Regardless of what DHH and others are saying on different topics, Ruby on Rails is still a great piece of software and will continue to be. But there are some great alternatives as well that I would like to highlight.

Sinatra

Sinatra is one of the oldest web frameworks for Ruby. It was initially released in 2007 (Rails was released in 2004). Sinatra is a microframework that inspired a lot of other small frameworks the way Rails inspired full-stack frameworks. For example, the famous Express.js framework was inspired by Sinatra as well as some parts of Laravel.

Hanami

Hanami used to be called Lotus, but because of some copyright issues with IBM, it was renamed Hanami. The main developer, Luca Guidi, announced a big collaboration with the team of dry-rb and rom-rb more than a year ago. Now the teams from these projects are working on improving the framework. If you want to follow their progress, I recommend following Tim Riley and Piotr Solnica on Twitter. Tim releases a blog post once a month in which he writes down the progress he’s made.
