My Dream Stack

Before I start with any detailed descriptions, let us have a brief look at the “ideal” Ruby web application stack that I am trying to achieve in my work. Not everything is available yet, but “viam supervadet vadens” – a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

• Linux based OS with RubyMine IDE
• PostgreSQL DB and Redis cache
• Hanami.rb framework, to have a full-featured framework with as little magic as possible
• Trailblazer to organize business logic and reusable widgets, plus handle JSON API conversions
• Dependency injection in Ruby code
• Minitest and Capybara for testing, with clear OOP approaches instead of a DSL
• Vue.js + ES6/WebPack for rich JavaScript pages
• Docker for local development and production deployment
