Ruby on Rails Offers the Best Plug-ins for Application Development

Posted by Manik Juneja on October 6th, 2015

Ruby on Rails can very well be considered a symbol of the startup culture. A constantly updated web technology, this capability to evolve quickly with the changes in the web development industry is exactly what startups need to cope with the highly competitive world of web app development. Many startups are attracted to the platform because it provides them a way to take on rapid development within their small timeframe and budget. Ruby on Rails offers the benefit of speed and simplicity, cutting development time down where as other languages may take twice as longer to finish projects. This not only boosts development but also speeds up time-to-market while ensuring high quality service.

Apps are usually based on common structures and using Rails gives you access to all the things you need to speed up development and cut down costs. An experienced developer, for instance, will know exactly where to find what, ranging from configs to initializers, modules, and plug-ins, all within easy reach so your developer can start coding for your application right away. A logical choice, budget and time –wise, Ruby on Rails is an open source platform that is by definition free for all and open for further development by all, which means users have access to an entire range of plugins that add even greater benefits to its framework.

Such a strong ecosystem and great compatibility with existing systems not only allows startups to ensure fast development and excellent support but also to deploy apps on a platform as a service basis. Its rich development ecosystem also includes an entire goldmine of community- developed libraries that can further streamline development. These libraries contain countless plugins that help simplify and speed up development in a major way, helping you deploy your project within the fastest timeframe.

Also importantly, you get a fantastic application that is built and works as you expected as well as an opportunity to revamp it months or even years after development should you run into an issue or decide to add functionality. This is true even if you choose to switch developers as the firm you choose will know exactly where the code began and end, saving you the pain and the cost of rebuilding everything from scratch. This allows you to fix issues or improve on the application without the ridiculously inflated costs of redevelopment and re-launching of your website or web app.
