Overview
Hanami is a Ruby web framework that combines a Rack-compatible router, actions, views, a database layer and asset management. This repository holds the glue that ties those libraries together, and each library can also be used on its own. It has no AI features; it fits this list only as a general backend framework to build an app on.
Who it is for: Ruby developers who want a modular web framework for app backends
Strengths
- Router, action, view, db and assets libraries work independently or together
- Database layer includes migrations, repositories, relations and structs
- Rack-compatible router and actions fit the existing Rack ecosystem
- Installs as a gem; `hanami new` scaffolds an app with a dev server
Weaknesses
- No AI, model or agent features; not an AI starter
- Ruby only, so it suits teams already using Ruby
- No auth, billing or admin is listed; those must be added separately
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs Ruby, Bundler
- port 2300
