Ruby on Rails is an open-source web framework written in Ruby. It follows convention over configuration and the Model-View-Controller pattern, which lets developers build database-backed web applications quickly without spending time on boilerplate. Rails is used in production by Basecamp, GitHub, and Shopify. On RunCode, a Rails workspace with the full toolchain is ready in under a minute.

Rails ships a routing system for defining and handling HTTP requests, ActiveRecord as its ORM for database-backed models, and a template engine that separates application logic from HTML. Caching strategies are built in to help with performance under load. The framework has a large, active community that has contributed a wide ecosystem of gems. Its convention-over-configuration approach means most decisions about project structure have sensible defaults, so you spend less time on setup and more on application logic.
