Ruby on Rails + Lucia
Lucia can work with Rails, but it requires manual integration since Lucia is JavaScript-first and Rails has its own session management; you'll need to bridge the gap carefully.
partial
Ruby on Rails + Clerk
Ruby on Rails and Clerk integrate seamlessly for authentication, with Clerk handling user management while Rails focuses on business logic.
full
Ruby on Rails + Contentful
Rails and Contentful work together seamlessly—Contentful acts as your headless CMS while Rails handles the presentation layer and business logic.
full
Ruby on Rails + Paddle
Ruby on Rails integrates seamlessly with Paddle for SaaS billing, with community gems and webhooks handling the heavy lifting.
full
Ruby on Rails + Turso
You can use Turso with Rails, but it requires custom setup since Rails' ActiveRecord doesn't natively support libSQL; you'll need the turso gem or raw HTTP clients.
partial
Ruby on Rails + Render
Ruby on Rails deploys seamlessly to Render with first-class support, native PostgreSQL integration, and zero configuration needed for basic apps.
full
Ruby on Rails + Lemon Squeezy
Ruby on Rails integrates seamlessly with Lemon Squeezy via webhooks and REST API, making it an excellent choice for selling digital products with minimal setup.
full
Ruby on Rails + PlanetScale
Rails works seamlessly with PlanetScale as a drop-in MySQL replacement with excellent developer experience.
full
Ruby on Rails + Redis
Ruby on Rails integrates seamlessly with Redis for caching, session storage, and background job queues, with Rails providing first-class support through multiple built-in adapters.
full
Ruby on Rails + Drizzle ORM
You can use Drizzle ORM with Rails, but it requires running a separate Node.js process since Drizzle is TypeScript-only and Rails is Ruby-native.
workaround
Ruby on Rails + Cloudflare Pages
Rails apps can deploy to Cloudflare Pages only as static sites or via Workers; dynamic server rendering isn't directly supported.
partial
Ruby on Rails + Strapi
Rails and Strapi work together seamlessly as a decoupled architecture, with Rails serving as your frontend/API consumer and Strapi as your headless CMS backend.
full
Ruby on Rails + Supabase
Ruby on Rails works excellently with Supabase as a PostgreSQL database + auth backend, requiring minimal setup and leveraging Rails' conventions naturally.
full
Ruby on Rails + Netlify
Rails works with Netlify, but Rails is a full-stack framework requiring a server, while Netlify is primarily a static/JAMstack platform—you'll need to host Rails elsewhere and use Netlify for the frontend only, or use Netlify Functions as a supplementary API layer.
partial
Ruby on Rails + DigitalOcean
Ruby on Rails runs excellently on DigitalOcean with multiple deployment options and strong community support.
full
Ruby on Rails + GitHub Actions
Ruby on Rails works seamlessly with GitHub Actions for CI/CD, making it trivial to automate testing, linting, and deployment workflows directly from your repository.
full
Ruby on Rails + PostgreSQL
Ruby on Rails and PostgreSQL are a mature, battle-tested combination with first-class native support and excellent developer experience.
full
Ruby on Rails + MySQL
Ruby on Rails has first-class MySQL support through ActiveRecord and works seamlessly with MySQL as a primary database.
full
Ruby on Rails + MongoDB
Rails works with MongoDB through the Mongoid ODM, but you lose many Rails conveniences designed around relational databases.
partial
Ruby on Rails + SQLite
Ruby on Rails works excellently with SQLite and is the default database choice for new Rails projects.
full
Ruby on Rails + Firebase
Rails and Firebase can work together, but Firebase is primarily a frontend/backend-as-a-service solution, so you're essentially using Rails as an API layer alongside Firebase services.
partial
Ruby on Rails + Kubernetes
Ruby on Rails runs excellently on Kubernetes with proper containerization and configuration management.
full
Ruby on Rails + Sanity
Rails works excellently with Sanity as a headless CMS backend, using Sanity's APIs to fetch structured content while Rails handles application logic and rendering.
full
Ruby on Rails + Fly.io
Ruby on Rails runs excellently on Fly.io with first-class support, containerization, and zero major friction points.
full
Ruby on Rails + Neon
Rails works seamlessly with Neon as a drop-in PostgreSQL replacement, requiring only connection string changes.
full
Ruby on Rails + Prisma
You can use Prisma with Rails, but they're designed for different ecosystems—Rails has ActiveRecord built-in, and Prisma is Node.js-first, requiring careful architectural decisions.
partial
Ruby on Rails + Mongoose
Rails and Mongoose don't integrate natively—they're separate ecosystems (Ruby vs Node.js)—but you can use them together in a microservices or hybrid architecture.
partial
Ruby on Rails + Stripe
Ruby on Rails integrates seamlessly with Stripe for payment processing, with official gems and extensive community support making it a natural choice for Rails applications.
full
Ruby on Rails + Auth.js
Auth.js is JavaScript-first and designed for frontend frameworks; using it with Rails requires building a separate Next.js/React frontend or implementing custom backend bridges.
partial
Ruby on Rails + Auth0
Ruby on Rails integrates seamlessly with Auth0 for enterprise-grade authentication and authorization with minimal setup.
full
Ruby on Rails + Vercel
Rails can run on Vercel via serverless functions, but it's not the platform's primary use case and requires significant architectural changes.
partial
