I can’t actually imagine the niche for this tech.
Pet projects with simplest logic? ToDo app examples?
It won’t work in a large scale projects because this approach doesn’t scale well.
On a small scale it adds very uneven comlexity curve. Until some point everything is quite easy, but one day you need to write a stored function in plsql, and it’s not an easy task. Python/js won’t help in this case, because there will no be maturity of nodejs/django in decades.
Why should anyone prefer this thing to Rails?
- nileshtrivedi 5y agoOpen-source apps meant for personal self-hosting as the article mentions? - Scaling is not a worry. - Simplicity is essential because developers are volunteering their time. - Users also benefit because they only need to manage a database and not 6 different server language runtimes. Can even use managed services like Supabase or RDS.
- qaq 5y agoIt scales fine for 99.9% of projects. You can write functions in Python, JS or whatever other language you fancy. Why do you need rails for the REST API?
- vogre 5y agoBecause i need production-ready auth, csrf. I want to add some cache layer with redis/memcached. I want control over fields I pass to/from frontend. I want to be able to handle multipart requests. And I want a decent logging system and debugger.
- qaq 5y agoI don't see any issues with everything you just outlined.
