Ruby on Rails, from MVC to GraphQL

As a Ruby on Rails developer, I'm always looking for the best tools and practices to apply to my day-to-day development. This framework has a fantastic structure where all its inner parts communicate very well.

Recent versions of Rails implemented Webpack, facilitating the use of modern JavaScript frameworks, which added another level of robustness to everyone's applications. Not only is this becoming the new standard, but it also enables bigger code-bases without falling into madness.

How to use the FaunaDB public Docker image.

This document will walk through creating a FaunaDB docker instance using the publicly available docker image. Three different types of deployments will be illustrated.

• A single node FaunaDB - basic developer functionality.
• A three node, single replica instance of FaunaDB - scale out operations.
• A three node, three replicas instance of FaunaDB - distributed operations.

Finally, we will wrap up with some more general documentation around the various options available when using the public docker image.
