Ruby on Rails
A full-stack web framework whose core design philosophy is convention over configuration and DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). It includes built-in ORM, routing, and templating components and is widely used in web application development.
Core Facts

Timeline (last 90 days)
AO3's tech stack has long been based on Ruby on Rails.
Rails-style full-stack convenience is built on relational databases and the request-response cycle; a typical AI application pipeline includes async tasks, long-connection push, external model API calls, and vector databases.
The Rust web ecosystem still lacks ready-made solutions as convenient as the Rails gem ecosystem in areas such as authentication, admin backends, and email.
Rails provides methods such as includes, preload, and eager_load to preload associations.
Rails database queries can produce N+1 problems; for example, iterating over 100 users and reading each one's articles triggers 1 user query plus 100 article queries.
Rails' mature ecosystem includes out-of-the-box solutions such as Devise authentication, Sidekiq background jobs, and RSpec testing.
Rails' core ideas include Convention over Configuration (CoC) and Don't Repeat Yourself (DRY).
In Rails, a model named User automatically maps to the users table, and the index action of the controller UsersController automatically renders the users/index.html.erb view.
Demand for Rails jobs has declined in recent years, especially in China's first-tier cities, where hiring for Java, Go, and Python far exceeds Ruby.
Rails uses a multi-process model by default (such as Puma's worker mode), with each request occupying a thread until completion.
