Frequently Asked Questions

What Ruby on Rails-specific architecture patterns are implemented?

Ruby on Rails boilerplates leverage the framework's native architecture patterns including its routing system, middleware pipeline, and controller/handler structure. They implement Ruby on Rails's conventions for separating concerns, dependency injection, and service layer patterns. The codebase follows Ruby on Rails's best practices for organizing models, views/components, and business logic to ensure maintainability as your application grows.

How does Ruby on Rails's ORM/database layer work in these boilerplates?

Ruby on Rails boilerplates use the framework's native ORM or query builder (Prisma, Eloquent, Active Record, SQLAlchemy, etc.) with pre-configured models for users, subscriptions, teams, and common SaaS entities. They include optimized queries, relationships, migrations, seeders, and database connection pooling. The implementation leverages Ruby on Rails's specific features like eager loading, query scopes, and transaction handling for performance.

What deployment strategies work best with Ruby on Rails?

Ruby on Rails boilerplates are optimized for the framework's ideal deployment platforms. This includes containerization with Docker, serverless configurations (if supported), CDN integration, and environment-specific builds. They include Ruby on Rails-specific deployment configurations for platforms like Vercel (Next.js), Heroku (Rails), Platform.sh (Laravel), or cloud providers with proper build steps, environment variables, and scaling configurations.

What Ruby on Rails plugins and middleware are pre-configured?

Ruby on Rails boilerplates include essential framework-specific middleware and plugins for authentication (Passport, NextAuth, Devise, etc.), rate limiting, CORS, session management, and request validation. They leverage Ruby on Rails's ecosystem with popular packages for tasks like job queuing, caching, email handling, and file uploads—all configured with production-ready settings and proper error handling.

How are Ruby on Rails version updates handled?

Ruby on Rails boilerplates target the latest stable framework version and follow the framework's upgrade guidelines. They're structured to minimize breaking changes when updating Ruby on Rails versions—using stable APIs, avoiding deprecated features, and documenting any version-specific dependencies. Most include update guides for migrating to newer Ruby on Rails versions while maintaining your custom features.
