Ruby on Rails is Time-Efficient

Ruby on rails is built to be time-efficient by allowing developers to use ready-made plugins and modules. These ready-made plugins help the developers avoid the tedious task of writing boilerplate codes. It has long been proven that developers using the Ruby on Rails framework finishes their project 30-40% faster than others using a different programming language.

Consistency

Ruby on Rails promotes consistency through its standardized file storage, as well as programming conventions that serve as a structured guideline for developers to keep the project as consistent and as readable as possible. The consistency, readability, and simplicity of ruby on rails also allow other developers to seamlessly take over the project.

Cost-Effective

When using ruby on rails, you don’t have to worry much about the cost of development since it’s an open-source framework. Meaning, you don’t need to shell out cash for the framework itself. And since Ruby on Rails is open-sourced, there are tons of Gems available online that could prove useful to a developer, allowing them to significantly cut downtime in developing features.

High-Quality and Bug-Free Projects

Rails have what we call the “Minitest tool” that allows you to run comprehensive tests on your build ranging from expectation syntax, test benchmarking, mocking, and many more. The tools equipped in the Ruby on Rails framework promotes test-driven developments or TDD, as well as behavior-driven development approaches.

Scalability

Scalability is the potential for an application – specifically your website, to grow with your business, for it to be able to handle an increase in traffic and requests in the future.

Convention Over Configuration

Ruby on Rails is best known for this concept – convention over configuration. It allows the developers to spend less time on menial tasks by assuming logical situations by default rather than them creating new rules every single time.

The convention over configuration concept allows a developer to create many things in such a short period of time by reducing the number of decisions a developer has to make, as well as get rid of any complexity in having to configure every single area of the application development.
