I recently used Ruby, Roda, and soap4r for a JSON-to-SOAP gateway project. We didn’t need all of the ceremony of Rails (no database), and needed more velocity than Java could give us, and none of the Elixir/Erlang SOAP libraries actually worked with the WSDLs (plural) we had. There’s a _lot_ of reasons to use Ruby if Rails is off the table.
