Works like magic, and easy to set-up. I've used this to transcribe long podcasts and make them searchable.

Great and easy to integrate.

A must-have solution for your Rails app. If you doing anything bigger than a landing page you should use this gem. Easy to configure and by adding even the most basic rules you can protect your site from DDOS.

Of course, you can also use Cloudflare but depending on requirements this gem is also a nice option.

Using this search engine (with Ruby/Rails gem) and am very happy. Performance is blazing fast.

I really love Sinatra simplicity to start new web services, it's a really smooth and easy process! I also use it currently in production. It makes a lot of sense (from a performance POV) for APIs and Proxies. But if you're going to build a more complex web app, with views, forms, mails, interactions, ... I'd just start with Rails.

I've been building Rails apps for more than 10 years and I feel like I have superpowers now 💪 No, seriously. Building web-apps with Rails makes you really productive.

The latest major version, Rails 7, also simplified the front-end part, which makes super easy to use modern/ES6 stuff, even without Node and a the extra build step.
