The Ruby on Rails community had stuff like this what, 18 years ago?
- felipemesquita 2y agoNot really. While I prefer rails’ stance of “you can’t pay me for my open source”, laravel having a commercial model around developer tooling made them at least more responsive to their community’s dx wishes. Still, for me, having a fully open source first party tool like kamal is much better than a commercial offering, no matter how convenient it may be.
- tnolet 2y agoThat’s funny, because Rails is the one big framework that does not have a framework level hosting provider. Wordpress has it, Nextjs has it and now Laravel has it. There is no Rails equivalent.
- dismalaf 2y agoDid you forget about Heroku? It started life as a Ruby and Rails hosting provider in what, 2007?
- tnolet 2y agoYeah, I’m very familiar with them. But they never really were a framework specific platform or at least did not go in that direction very long. Now they are explicitly a framework agnostic PaaS.
- dismalaf 2y agoThey were Ruby only for years... Like, we had Rails and could deploy to Heroku before Nodejs even existed...
- butlike 2y agoIt was strictly RoR for a long time
- tonyhart7 2y agobeing language or framework specific is not make sense either, do you rather have bussiness that tied to 1 framework userbase vs multiple framework supported platform???? like its no brainer
