Etch is a cross-platform, language- and transport-independent framework for building and consuming network services. With Etch, service development and consumption becomes no more difficult than library development and consumption.

Grape is a Ruby framework for building REST-like APIs with a focus on simplicity and convention. It provides a DSL for declaring endpoints, parameters, formats, and validation rules, making it easy to build consistent and documented APIs. Grape supports multiple content types (JSON, XML, etc.), versioning, error handling, and authentication hooks, which are crucial for maintaining long-lived APIs. It integrates well with frameworks like Rails or Sinatra but can also be used standalone for microservices. Built-in tools like parameter coercion, strong validations, and automatic documentation (via Swagger integrations) reduce boilerplate and improve maintainability. Because it’s lightweight and purpose-built, Grape is popular in service-oriented architectures where clean, well-structured APIs are central.

Hanami is a modern Ruby web framework that aims to be lightweight, fast, and modular, in contrast to the monolithic design of Rails. It emphasizes separation of concerns, encouraging developers to structure applications into clear layers of controllers, views, entities, and repositories. Each component—like the router, model layer, or view rendering engine—can be used independently, which gives developers flexibility to build lean applications. Hanami promotes immutability, plain old Ruby objects, and minimized global state, which makes codebases more maintainable and testable. It supports multi-application setups within the same project, making it well-suited for larger service-oriented architectures. The framework is designed to provide Rails-like productivity while encouraging more explicit architecture and performance-conscious choices.

Java Named Lock.

Josso agent for Ruby on rails. Recently, there isn't a josso agent for ruby on rails. So, this project is born for SSO with JOSSO in the ROR environment.

The jBRGates is a lightweight library for serializing beans, maps, collections, arrays and Enum to Json and back again to beans.

Laika analyzes and reports on the interoperability capabilities of EHR systems. This includes the testing for certification of EHR software products and networks.

LCDProc-Ruby is an application programming interface (API) to the LCDProc lcd server. You can create a client, add a screen to that client, and then add widgets to that screen. Multiple clients, widgets, and screens are supported.

Mobility is a gem for storing and retrieving translations as attributes on a class. These translations could be the content of blog posts, captions on images, tags on bookmarks, or anything else you might want to store in different languages. Storage of translations is handled by customizable "backends" which encapsulate different storage strategies. The default way to store translations is to put them all in a set of two shared tables, but many alternatives are also supported, including translatable columns and model translation tables, as well as database-specific storage solutions such as json/jsonb and Hstore (for PostgreSQL).

Networking and sockets in scripting languages is difficult and often overcomplicated! Monasic is a server daemon (service) which does all the low level work to create a simple message-based environment, allowing easy access to networking via scripts.

Mongoid is the officially supported ODM (Object-Document-Mapper) framework for MongoDB in Ruby. This Mongoid community organization is a group of open-source contributors around the Mongoid ODM not affiliated with the company, MongoDB. Mongoid is customarily configured through a mongoid.yml file that specifies options and clients. The simplest configuration is as follows, which configures Mongoid to talk to a MongoDB server at “localhost:27017” and use the database named “mongoid”. If you are not using Ruby on Rails, Mongoid configuration must be loaded manually. This can be done via the Mongoid.load! method, which takes the configuration file path as its argument. It is also possible to configure Mongoid directly in Ruby, without using a configuration file. This configuration style does not support the concept of environments - whatever configuration is provided, it is applied to the current environment, but it does support defining multiple clients.

NARF is an attempt to create a ruby web framework that escapes the weighty thud that one usually associates with web frameworks.

OAproject implements a plataform to allow applications to interact. Apps using the platform send/receive messages through a message oriented middleware. Main features are a Single Sign On (SSO), Identity Management System (IMS) and a provisioning system

Octopress is a blogging framework built on top of Jekyll, designed to make static site generation easier and more attractive for developers. It provides a theming system, plugins, and prebuilt templates for blogs that are responsive, SEO-friendly, and customizable. Octopress simplifies common tasks like syntax highlighting for code snippets, social sharing integration, and deployment scripts for publishing to GitHub Pages or other static hosts. It emphasizes a developer-centric workflow, letting users write posts in Markdown and manage content through version control. Octopress also provides automation for assets like CSS/JS compression and support for third-party comment systems. For many developers, it offered a more approachable and stylish way to manage personal blogs before static site generators became more mainstream.

Guard Stone is an Open Source Security Platform, which enables to integrate and deploy open source security tools. Some of Guard Stone's focus areas include Firewall, VPN, Mail Gateway Filters, Web Filters, Web Application Security, Routing etc;

It is a Web-based Application Development Framework. It first support ruby on rails, and written in ruby on rails. It like a workflow engine to run every step. I hope it save your time for developing a real web application system.

Pakada takes new paths in creating and maintaining dynamic web content. It doesn't provide hardcoded modules, it let's you build them yourself within your browser, though it still ships with a handful of presets. Pakada is based on Ruby on Rails.

PlugMan is a simple and effective plugin framework for Ruby. PlugMan supports plugin dependencies and extension points and includes a couple of demos to make learning PlugMan even easier.

RSpec Rails brings the RSpec testing framework to Ruby on Rails as a drop-in alternative to its default testing framework, Minitest. In RSpec, tests are not just scripts that verify your application code. They’re also specifications (or specs, for short): detailed explanations of how the application is supposed to behave, expressed in plain English. RSpec follows semantic versioning, which means that “major version” upgrades (e.g., 2.x → 3.x) come with breaking changes. If you’re upgrading from version 2.x or below, read the rspec-rails upgrade notes to find out what to watch out for. In RSpec, assertions are called expectations, and every expectation is built around a matcher. When you expect(a).to eq(b), you’re using the eq matcher. RSpec Rails defines ten different types of specs for testing different parts of a typical Rails application. Each one inherits from one of Rails’ built-in TestCase classes, meaning the helper methods provided by default in Rails tests are available.

RailsDB is a web application written in Ruby using the Ruby on Rails web framework to provide a generic interface to popular open source databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.

RPetstore is a Rails implementation of the iBatis JPetstore. It's goal is to show best practices for building web applications with the Ruby on Rails framework.
