FAQ:

Q: Why MySQL?
A: https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1275909837793062912

@dhh what is your package.json?

Why Resque and not Sidekiq?

Interesting! Thanks!!

Don't need any features from Sidekiq. Happy with Resque.

Nice, thanks!

Alphabetical order is way more efficient than creating categories

why no simplecov?

@dhh what is your package.json?

That's a good question. These days, it's almost as telling as the Gemfile.

What do you use from mocha? Something you can't do with Minitest::Mock?

mocha is for client side javascript testing, and minitest is not in the same level

That's a different mocha... The mocha Ruby gem is for mocking and stubbing: https://mocha.jamesmead.org/

I would love to see structured logging as a Rails default in production.

Obviously very interested to peek into

gem 'rails_structured_logging', github: 'basecamp/rails-structured-logging'

@codextremist Gemfiles are required in the order you define and gems can have order-dependant logic. Alphabetical ordering is a bad idea.

@dhh Do you plan to open source the rspamd gem at some point? I'd have a use case for it. :)

@krainboltgreene some example please

@krainboltgreene Never had that problem before, after dealing with at least dozens of Rails projects at least.
I just feel so pointless to organize gems by categories. If you need to lookup your Gemfile for a specific gem, I doubt that these categories will be of any help.

Don't see any authentication gem such as Devise... is it done totally "manually" ?

@dhh why use a "more-lightweight-than-Rails" framework Sinatra on top of already having Rails gem installed ?
I would understand if you were using Sinatra for Jobs in antoher codebase/repo/server for specific "thinner" needs, but as you're using a Majestic Monolith, why use Sinatra on top of Rails ? What was Rails missing in terms of jobs management that you'd need to use Sinatra on the same server ?

@krainboltgreene some example please

dot-env gem need to be loaded before rails

@misner I do not think he added Sinatra for the sake of adding Sinatra to the project. It's used by other gems such as Resque (check their repo here: https://github.com/resque/resque). You will notice that they are using it to offer you a "nice dashboard".

@dhh any chance of an update to this? would be interesting to see how it's evolved

what are you using for API (generation), e.g. what serialization approach? render json, or jbuilder?

Thank you DHH for posting this reference. It's a pleasure to work in a community where the creator does acts of pure charity like this decades in. You're a good man.
