I know a lot of developers compare Ecto to ActiveRecord, I feel like a more fair comparison is Arel. Is that the case?

- ravi-delia 6y agoI think Ecto is most commonly compared to ActiveRecord because it serves essentially the same role in the ecosystem. The scope is a little different, but for onboarding Ruby developers the ActiveRecord comparison is pretty good.
- sodapopcan 6y agoIt's more true to say it's like arel than ActiveRecord, yes. It's more powerful than arel, though. It's otherwise not an ORM (more like an RM) and uses the Repo pattern.
