Ruby on Rails

Ruby on Rails has long been a powerhouse in web development, known for its convention over configuration approach and rapid development capabilities. At Durable Programming, we specialize in maintaining and upgrading Rails applications.

Rails + InertiaJS + SvelteJS: The Modern Stack

For new projects, we’re excited about the powerful combination of Rails on the backend with InertiaJS and SvelteJS on the frontend. This stack offers several advantages:

Server-Side Rendering with SPA Feel: InertiaJS allows you to create fully client-side rendered, single-page apps, without the complexity of building an API. It works seamlessly with Rails controllers and routing.
Svelte’s Simplicity: SvelteJS offers a simpler, more intuitive approach to building user interfaces compared to other frameworks. It compiles your code to vanilla JavaScript, resulting in smaller bundle sizes and better performance.
Rails’ Robust Backend: You still get all the benefits of Rails on the backend - ActiveRecord, ActionCable, ActiveJob, and more.

Why Choose This Stack for New Projects?

Faster Development: Leverage Rails’ rapid development capabilities with Svelte’s straightforward component model.
Improved Performance: Svelte’s compiled output is highly optimized, leading to faster load times and smoother user experiences.
Seamless Page Transitions: InertiaJS provides smooth, SPA-like navigation without the need for a separate API.
Full-Stack JavaScript: Write your front-end logic in JavaScript/TypeScript, making it easier to share code and logic between client and server.
