Hello, mates and welcome back to our channel.
In this video, we're going to talk about two well-known technologies -- Ruby on Rails
and Node.js.
In fact, we will compare them.
Let's get down to it.
Let's consider both technologies' advantages and disadvantages before making any conclusions.
Ruby on Rails is a framework based on Ruby language.
It was created in 2004 and often called just Rails.
Nobody likes bugs in their apps.
Neither the end-users nor the developers.
Ruby on Rails technology has stakes in bug-free products, so it has a testing tool called
Minitest.
This tool provides developers with such testing facilities as benchmarking, mocking, TDD,
and BDD.
If you strictly follow the TDD and BDD approaches, they will help you to test all the project's
code and provide you with a well-thought-out architecture.
This way, the Rails-based projects tend to have code that is easy to read, maintain,
and test.
This framework contains a lot of ready-made solutions like plugins and various modules.
That fact leads to a faster development process and helps to avoid writing boilerplate code.
Another factor contributing to Ruby on Rails time-efficiency is the presence of Model-View-Controller.
With its help, several developers can work on a project simultaneously by sharing their
responsibilities.
Thus, one of them has an opportunity to work on controllers while another can be focused
on models or views.
It is vital to take care of the number of requests your project is able to cope with
in advance.
Ruby on Rails has good scaling potential due to its modularity.
For example, one of the famous companies that use Ruby on Rails is Shopify that processes
around 4 million requests every second.
Rails has a variety of security-related features that are enabled from the very beginning of
the framework usage.
At the same time, Ruby on Rails usage requires the necessity to follow such complex processes
as Secure Development Lifecycle.
Node.js is a platform written in JavaScript, Node.js lets developers build web servers
and even networking tools.
By the way, watch our video related to the importance of usage of open source libraries
in your projects.

Being powered by Google's V8 engine, Node technology demonstrates a really high running
speed.
One more interesting thing about Node.js is that it allows running the code written by
coders much faster, increasing the speed of any framework.
Both HTTP queries and responses are perceived as isolated events but, in fact, they are
actually streaming data.
Data streaming with Node.js really looks better, so developers can feel Node.js advantages
when implementing something like processing files during their upload.
Having a number of efficient features, Node.js can be used to proxy a certain amount of services
that have some differences related to response time.
Also, they can be used for streaming data from various sources.
By means of Node.js development, programmers have an opportunity to write both client-side
and server-side.
That fact contributes a lot to time-efficiency since it allows sending and synchronizing
data easily between these two sides.
Node.js performance has raised dramatically for the last 4 years leaving Ruby far behind
in some peculiar cases.
The job market also shows that Ruby on Rails technology is losing its positions, while
Node development in contrary continues to strengthen its position yearly.
For instance, LinkedIn has replaced their back-end built on Ruby on Rails by Node.js
because of reasons related to performance and scalability.
This way, the company managed to increase the performance for certain scenarios up to
20 times and reduce the load on the servers.
This language is quite flexible and can be ported to any platform by means of database
migration.
From other hand, Ruby on Rails requires lots of processing power and its speed is relatively
slow.
Node.js has powerful basic libraries, it is fast and easy to support.
Add to these, the ability of the language to deal with both client and server side and
the fact it is demanded on the market.
However, drawbacks are also present.
For example, its unstable API and the lack of developers on the market.
As for us, we prefer using Node.js for our projects.
We have an extensive experience of work with this technology and we like its technical
aspects like the speed and the fact it is asynchronous so we can do several operations
simultaneously while querying.
That's all for now!
