Rails 8: Surprisingly Great for Solo Projects

After building and deploying a new Rails 8 application, it's clear: Rails is awesome, especially for small, single-developer projects. The new Getting Started guide is excellent, leading you from zero to a production-ready app with authentication, caching, rich text, CI, and a database – all without much hassle. Rails 8 simplifies database setup, making SQLite production-ready. Built-in CI config and free Github Actions minutes make continuous integration a breeze. A new, easy-to-use authentication generator and streamlined deployment further enhance the experience. Rails 8 makes development efficient and accessible, even for solo developers.
