What is Ruby on Rails? Nedir?

Ruby on Rails (Rails for short) was extracted from the Basecamp project and released as open source by David Heinemeier Hansson (DHH) in 2004. Its principles of 'Convention over Configuration' (CoC) and 'Don't Repeat Yourself' (DRY) deeply influenced the web development world. Rails adopts the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture and offers comprehensive components: Active Record ORM, Action View (templates), Action Controller, Action Mailer (email), Active Job (background jobs), and Action Cable (WebSocket). The scaffold command creates CRUD applications in minutes. One of Rails' strongest aspects is its focus on developer productivity. Database migrations, fixtures, generators, and a rich gem ecosystem enable rapid development cycles. Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus) provides a modern, JavaScript-minimal frontend experience. GitHub, Shopify, Airbnb, Basecamp, Twitch, Kickstarter, and Hulu are globally recognized platforms built with Rails. With over 20 years of history, Rails continues to be a mature and reliable framework.
