Ember.js VS Ruby on Rails

Similarly to Promises/A+, this effort focuses on aligning the JavaScript ecosystem. If this alignment is successful, then a standard could emerge, based on that experience. Several framework authors are collaborating here on a common model which could back their reactivity core. The current draft is based on design input from the authors/maintainers of Angular, Bubble, Ember, FAST, MobX, Preact, Qwik, RxJS, Solid, Starbeam, Svelte, Vue, Wiz, and more…

Ember pioneered the standardised usage of global cli tool. This is a perfect way to give new users a good onboarding experience as well as existing users power tools for daily usage.

Ember.js: Ember.js is an open-source JavaScript web framework that utilizes a component-service pattern. It allows developers to create scalable single-page web applications by incorporating common idioms, best practices, and patterns from other single-page-app ecosystem patterns into the framework.

4. Ember.js

Other popular frontend libraries include Vue.js, Angular, and Ember.js. Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework that is gaining popularity due to its simplicity and ease of use. Surprisingly, Vue.js has been more popular than React.js for a long time if you consider the GitHub stars parameter alone. Angular is a framework developed by Google that is widely used in enterprise applications. Ember.js is a framework that is known for its convention over configuration approach and is used by companies such as Netflix and LinkedIn.

I've been working on a small side project, more on that later, and wanted a straight forward way to deploy a serverless full-stack app. I'm using Ember.js as the front-end framework and the back-end is AWS, Amazon Web Services, Lambda and other AWS services. This post describes the minimal setup to deploy a full-stack app with Ember.js and a Lambda API endpoint.

Disclaimer: I am the author of SolidJS. This article reflects the evolution from the perspective of my influences. Elm Signals, Ember's computed properties, and Meteor all deserve shoutouts although not covered in the article.

Ember is a framework for ambitious web developers. It is a productive, battle-tested JavaScript framework for building modern web applications. It includes everything you need to build rich UIs that work on any device. It has been around for more than 10 years and is still preferred and used by a lot of companies.

Here's a real life example: Imagine a Ruby on Rails app on which a team of developers are working. The code is hosted on GitLab and all the work is coordinated using GitLab issues. In other words: For every commit, there's an associated issue and the issue number acts as a sort of primary key for documentation, time reporting and so forth. This convention has a few advantages, most notably the ability to easily learn more about how, when and by whom features were implemented as well as how this implementation came to be.

Ruby on Rails is regarded as one of the best ruby frameworks. It was the primary language in developing big projects such as Twitter and helped the language boost the community. Often referred to as “Rails,” Ruby on Rails is a web development framework with an MVC control structure and currently running its 6.1 version. The 16-year-old language has dramatically influenced the web development structures and managing databases, web pages, and other components on a web application.

In Rails 7.1, a new option _instance_methods is introduced, allowing developers to opt-out of the automatic generation of instance methods for enums. When enum is defined with _instance_methods: false, Rails will no longer generate methods like pending?, processed?, etc.

Rails isn't super opinionated about database writes, its mostly left up to developers to discover that for relational DBs you do not want to be doing a bunch of small writes all at once.

That said it specifically has tools to address this that started appearing a few years ago https://github.com/rails/rails/pull/35077

The way my team handles it is to stick Kafka in between whats generating the records (for us, a bunch of web scraping workers) and and a consumer that pulls off the Kafka queue and runs an insert when its internal buffer reaches around 50k rows.

Rails is also looking to add some more direct background type work with https://github.com/basecamp/solid_queue but this is still very new - most larger Rails shops are going to be running a second system and a gem called Sidekiq that pulls jobs out of Redis.

I'm looking forward to see what extractions from this will land on rails. For example: https://github.com/rails/rails/issues/50454

Here is what strict_loading does (source):

Kamal is a wonderfully simple way to deploy your applications anywhere. It will also be included by default in Rails 8. Kamal is trivial, but I don’t recommend using it on your development machine.
