So make_resourceful can be massively customized, while still keeping your controllers trim and readable. [Less]

Rails applications integrated with servlet based applications in the same context would be a reasonable reason.

RTask provides easy way to release Ruby’s gem packages. This also provides useful Rake tasks for releasing packages and uploading documents.

Trapeze generates a suite of unit tests or specifications for existing Ruby source code. This is accomplished through dynamic analysis, by reflecting on the public interfaces of classes, modules and top-level methods defined in the source. Trapeze ... [More] then exercises each object, module and method, recording the behavior of the code. This recorded behavior is captured in a suite of test cases or specifications that can be rendered as test code or executable specifications. In essence, Trapeze is a tool for characterizing Ruby source code. Trapeze lets you fly high as you maintain and enhance a Ruby codebase that lacks test or spec coverage, knowing that you have a regression safety net underneath you. [Less]

This RubyGem and Rails plugin adds a ‘validates_constancy_of’ validation to Active Record. It allows you to prevent particular database fields from being changed after a record is created.

Swiftiply is a highly optimized clustering proxy for web applications (currently supports: Rails, Merb, IOWA, Ramaze, Camping, and Nitro, with the ability to support many more). It increases application performance in a few ways. First, it uses ... [More] EventMachine for network traffic (eventmachine is an event-based asynchronous network library which uses epoll on Linux for high network performance). Secondly, it reverses the way Proxies normally work by letting the nodes in the pool connect to Swiftiply with persistent TCP connections. This removes the delay of having to create a new TCP connection for every request, and makes it easier to maintain your cluster since nodes can be added and removed from the pool simply by starting new processes on a server.
