Rails And Metal

Rails And Metal: Ruby on Rails + Metal for High Performance Web Apps

A web application framework combining Ruby on Rails and Metal for rapid development, scalability, and high-performance web apps, providing the best of both worlds.

What is Rails And Metal?

Rails And Metal is an open-source web application framework that aims to provide the best of both worlds - the productivity and ease of use of Ruby on Rails combined with the performance and scalability of Metal.

It builds on top of Ruby on Rails, retaining its conventions and structures that allow rapid application development. But it also incorporates Metal - a library that provides a thin layer above Rack to optimize applications by bypassing some Rails middleware.

This allows developers to write performance-critical sections of an application in Metal, while still using Rails for most code. Things like database interactions, templates, and asset management are still handled by Rails. But CPU or IO intensive parts like API endpoints, real-time operations, etc can use Metal.

Some key benefits of Rails And Metal include:

• Rapid prototyping and development with Rails
• Improved throughput and lower response times with Metal
• Gradual transition from Rails to Metal
• Fine-grained control over optimizations
• Can scale to handle high loads better

Overall, Rails And Metal combines the best aspects of Rails and Metal to deliver a performant yet highly productive full-stack web framework.
