Rails 2 – Enterprise Ready
From the recently concluded RailsConf 2009, the many core Rails developers have made it known that Ruby on Rails 2.0 is indeed enterprise ready for use on the net. As with many of the open-sourced languages being used the world over, security remains to be one of the greatest concerns due to the open nature that is counter-intuitive for most enterprise development projects who need their information secured in more ways than one. Another good point given light was the ability of the current version to scale meaning adapt with changing conditions that allows easy upgrades allowing more people to use without much fuss.
Rails has long been in the sidelines but unbeknownst to most of us, it is the foundation of some of the most used systems on the internet that are powered by Rails in the background. Life for Rails seems to be improving with more and more people seeing the benefits of combining the powers of Rails and the many scripting languages that allows better and faster web development.
