I haven’t done a ton with Rails professionally - but in my mind, if I was doing customer facing CRUD I would reach for rails, I think the deployment ecosystem and development experience is a bit better.
Django, however, is wonderful for internal tooling, or anything where you need to plug in Python libraries. GIS is a clear win for Django, as well as custom BI work or data analytics

- paradox460 1y agoHow is GIS a clear win for Django, when the largest gis project on earth (OpenStreetMap) runs on rails?
- Demiurge 1y agoHow is the largest GIS project, or OpenStreetMap, relevant example for most projects? But, to help those wondering about RnR vs Django for dealing with GIS data, the answer is the python ecosystem is just larger for dealing with GIS data. There are more libraries like fiona, shapely, gdal examples, etc. Django ORM supports all of the PostGIS functions, geos and ogr object helpers. Rails does not have an alternative for PolygonField, Raster support, or geometry field queries like filter(geom__intersects=area)
