- // frameworkrubyRuby
Before Rails there was Ruby. Here's how to ship the runtime itself — workers, CLIs, and small services — onto real infrastructure.
→ open guide - // frameworkrailsRails
The majestic monolith is back, and it deploys better than ever. Kamal 2, Solid stack, Propshaft — no Node, no Redis, no Nginx if you don't want them.
→ open guide - // frameworksinatraSinatra: small
The 40-line Dockerfile framework. Perfect for internal APIs, webhooks, and 'we just need one endpoint' services.
→ open guide - // frameworkhanamiHanami: modern Ruby
Slice-based architecture, dry-rb composition, ROM persistence — Hanami 2 is what a lot of Ruby people quietly wish Rails had become.
→ open guide - // frameworkrodaRoda: the fastest gem in the west
Routing trees over routing tables. Roda is what you reach for when latency is a feature.
→ open guide - // frameworkpadrinoPadrino: Sinatra
Admin panels, mailers, and mountable subapps — deployed with the same care as any modern Ruby stack.
→ open guide - // frameworkgrapeGrape: REST APIs
The framework of choice for Ruby-first API teams. Mount it in Rails, or run it standalone on a lean Puma. Deploys like any other Rack app.
→ open guide - // frameworkcampingCamping: the 4kB micro-framework
_why's tiny single-file framework is still alive — and still perfect for one-off tools and micro-services that fit in your head.
→ open guide - // frameworkcubaCuba: micro
Sinatra without the DSL sugar. A few hundred lines of Ruby, built on Rack. Deploys like a dream because there's nothing to it.
→ open guide - // cloudawsAWS: the everything store
The most control, the most services, the most footguns. Here's the opinionated path that keeps a Ruby app boring and stable.
→ open guide - // cloudazureAzure: the enterprise-friendly ruby home
If your org lives on Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), Azure removes an entire class of identity problems.
→ open guide - // cloudgcpGCP: the developer-first cloud
Cloud Run is what happens when you take Heroku and give it an actually good autoscaler. It's the sweet spot for most Ruby teams.
→ open guide - // cloudherokuHeroku: still the fastest path to prod
Where Rails grew up. Still the fastest zero-to-production experience for a solo founder or small team, in 2026.
→ open guide - // cloudhatchboxHatchbox: your own Heroku on any VPS
By Chris Oliver of GoRails. A managed control plane over VMs you own — Heroku ergonomics on infrastructure you control end to end.
→ open guide - // cloudubicloudUbicloud: the open cloud
An open-source AWS replacement, built by ex-hyperscaler engineers — and (delightfully) implemented in Ruby and Rails.
→ open guide - // cloudflyFly
Firecracker microVMs in 30+ regions with a Heroku-ish CLI. Rails' unofficial second home, and the best story for global read replicas we've seen.
→ open guide - // cloudrenderRender: the modern Heroku
Git-push PaaS with real containers, managed Postgres/Redis, cron, and preview environments — priced to grow with you, not to punish you.
→ open guide - // clouddigitaloceanDigitalOcean: the developer's cloud
Predictable pricing, a UI you can actually navigate, and two great paths to prod: App Platform (PaaS) or Droplets + Managed Postgres (build-your-own).
