Ruby on Rails (RoR) is a popular Ruby-based framework for developing database-backed web applications according to the Model-View-Control pattern. Ruby on Rails has gained a reputation for being a sustainable, enjoyable way to develop web applications.

Ruby on Rails works with most web servers, including Apache and lighttpd. Popular databases used with Ruby on Rails are MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, SQL Server, DB2, or Firebird.

Below are some common buzzwords associated with Ruby on Rails:

MVC - The Model-View-Controller pattern.
ActiveRecord - The Object Relational Mapping (ORM) wrapper used by Ruby on Rails to encapsulate the model database inside the Ruby based Controller and View.
WEBrick - A Ruby-based HTTP server library intended for use as a development server for Ruby on Rails applications, but not recommended for production.
Mongrel - A Ruby based web server that uses C extensions in places to improve the performance of WEBrick. Mongrel also has clustering capabilities.
ActionPack - The packages containing the two layers, Action View and Action Controller, that handle the View and Controller of the Ruby on Rails platform.

Choosing an Open Source platform for your application can lower your overall technology risk and reduce the cost of development and long-term maintenance. While independent software vendors are motivated primarily to generate a profit, Open Source developers tend to focus only on computing problems. Open Source software generally complies with industry standards and doesn’t carry the risk of “vendor lock-in” and forced upgrades by software vendors.
