37signals/DHH Rails Style Guide

Core Philosophy

• "Vanilla Rails is plenty." Maximize what Rails gives you, minimize dependencies, resist abstractions until necessary.
• Rich domain models over service objects
• CRUD controllers over custom actions
• Concerns for horizontal code sharing
• Records as state over boolean columns
• Database-backed everything (no Redis)
• Build it yourself before reaching for gems

Dependencies

Use

• Rails (edge), turbo-rails, stimulus-rails, importmap-rails, propshaft, solid_queue, solid_cache, solid_cable (database-backed, NO Redis), geared_pagination, bcrypt, rqrcode, redcarpet
