Or just outsource/co-source the development. Of course it varies by location so we advise you to do your own research in your local area. There are still thousands of skilled Ruby on Rails developers looking for new exciting projects but their number is getting lower.
From our experience you shouldn’t have much problems with availability of skilled programmers on the market. Keep this in mind because it may be a significant factor for you when developing a product as it impacts the total development cost of your web product.Ĭhances are that you will be assembling your development team from scratch. Judging by this data, it’s clear that programmers experienced with Node.js have much lower salary than those with RoR. Rails developers are more expensive than Node.js There are nearly 2-times more open positions for a Node JS developer than there is for a Ruby on Rails developer. You can clearly see that Ruby developer is still one of the highest paying jobs in this category but the number of available positions are getting lower and lower. Things look a bit different if we focus only on the United States. With that, one of the questions was what programming language do they use at work and the results are visible above.Īccording to the results from the same survey, globally Ruby developers have a salary of $64 000. StacOverflow’s annual tradition is to ask developers what they think about certain programming languages themselves and the industry in general. Interest in Ruby on Rails framework and Ruby language is closer to 0% than ever before. Yet, Node.js’ community is continuously growing and getting highly popular. We can clearly see a significant decrease in community engagement from Ruby and Ruby on Rails compared to Node.js. Let’s start with some data from StackOverflow. Is Ruby on Rails really dead? Does it still make sense to use Ruby on Rails to build your product? Oh boy. Now, a few years later we ask ourselves a question. Unless you’re willing to scale it on multiple servers but that’s a different and expensive story. People realized that it is not a good technology to handle hundreds of millions of users globally. Twitter moved from Ruby on Rails to Scala, other platforms opted for Go or Rust. It turned out that Ruby on Rails is not a perfect technology after all! It is certainly not the best choice to handle problems such as Machine Learning or Blockchain (is it still a thing in 2019?). Things got significantly more complicated. Everything has changed when smartphones began to gain popularity.

No kidding! On top of that the code looked beautiful!įor the first couple of years since the launch, Ruby on Rails turned out to be good enough to build products such as marketplaces, e-commerce sites or even social networks. After many painful years spent on creating spaghetti code in PHP, you could simply build a blog in under 15 minutes. That does not mean Rails is our only-and-always choice, as there are cases when we pick a different technology that’s a better fit for some specific applications, but overall it seems 2019 will also be a year of mostly-Rails for us. The rise of rich JavaScript applications have shifted some of the logic onto the frontend and together with emergence of “serverless” tools it means shrinking backend’s responsibilities, maybe even down to just SQL-JSON translation and authorization, but with that being said Ruby on Rails remains as our choice for building backends that are bigger than a few remote function calls. Currently, at the end of 2018, I am certain that Ruby on Rails is still the best tool for quick, secure and high quality development of web applications, for most use cases.
These rumours didn’t come from nowhere.īeing in business since 2011 and a Ruby shop since the beginning, here at Rebased we have evaluated numerous alternatives for server-side web application development. One may argue that “Ruby is dead” or “Rails is dead” and they may be having a valid point. More and more startups and development teams opt for alternative technologies because of many significant downsides these two technologies have by today’s standards. Why are we talking about it again? Ruby and Ruby on Rails community has been having a tough time in the past few years, due to evident decrease in interest from companies and developers. But judging by the changes that happen on the tech market it’s an extremely mature technology, so it makes perfect sense to use it in certain cases and applications.
