Ruby on Rails Developers Tackle

Challenges that Ruby on Rails Developers Tackle Everyday

Tanay Sharma
Tanay Sharma Director of Engineering
Last Updated on March 10, 2025 | Written By: Tanay Sharma

As a frequently used and opted for backend technology, Ruby on Rails has gained tremendous attraction. Nearly thousands of software developers are actively using this framework to develop and deploy exceptional web applications. This definitely motivates you to step ahead and make RoR your career.

Well, it does to all of us Ruby on rails developers. But as much as the technology empowers success, the road to this isn’t easy.

Learning Ruby on rails is tough for one, and even after you have had excelled in the domain, the challenges don’t seem halt. In fact, there are a plethora of things that a ruby on rails developer faces and tackles each day.

Challenges That You Would Need To Face as a Ruby on Rails Developer

Challenge #1 Installing Ruby on Rails

Even before a developer sits to code and builds an

application, the process of installing Ruby on Rails is extremely agitating. The process includes setting up an environment along with Ruby. Depending upon the system, the manner in which the software is installed changes.

Are you also facing issues? Visit here, and install the software with greater ease. A quick way would be to use the hosted environment provided by Cloud9.

Check out this link to getting started with Rails It covers.

  • The general layout of Rails application
  • The basic principles of MVC and RESTful design
  • How to quickly generate pieces in Rails application
  • Learn to install a new rails application and connect your app to a database

Challenge #2 Rails Fail to Work on Windows

The fact that Rails being an open-source code is Linux based, the conversion of the same into a windows-only environment is not only time consuming but also difficult. So, the developers that are comfortable with windows and do not get with a UNIX based system, finding it hard to work with Ruby on rails. And if they continue to work on windows, using gems is simply not possible.

If you are still wondering how to set up Ruby on Rails development environment, then please do have a look at this in-detail guideline.

Challenge #3 Error Messages Coded

The decryption of the error messages is like unlocking a door or solving a quiz. Though the methods employed are excellent and cites everything that a senior Ruby on rails developer would need to rectify the issues, yet at times, the messages are so encrypted that developers cannot simplify the same.

The messages are apparently technical and consist of stack traces, which are detailed enough to highlight the issues. The message outlines explicitly the line that leads to an error but the explanation is purely technical. So, for a developer to effectively build an application, he/she needs to master the art of decoding stack traces.

Challenge #4 Convention Over Configuration

Ruby on rails is one such language where there is a lot of magic and by magic, err… we mean a lot of ‘default’ aspects of the code. However, digging deep into why something is happening leverages only frustration for the developers. The fact that Ruby on rails has an extensive set of a library where programs are sophisticatedly written, going into the depths of the same isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and at times, developers simply accept the things they are. is leaves them in a state of skepticism without understanding much.

Challenge #5 The Fuzzy Application Of Gems

Ruby owns a hub of gems like there is one for every other task. As a Ruby on rails developer, one would very well be aware of what gems are and how to use them. But developers often struggle in finding the best or the appropriate gem for their application.

Whether a developer needs to execute a basic database operation or work on the front end framework, there is a gem for. For instances where developers need to create an API for mailing list or tagging, Ruby on rails has a gem for that too

You can visit the Ruby Toolbox to gain access to all of the available gems.

Challenge #6 Understanding MVC and REST

As an obvious notion, we know MVC means model-view-controller, and REST is the acronym for representational state transfer, right? Working on a Ruby on rails project, developers would be taught how to use the two concepts without exemplifying why are the above used or is there lie an alternative for the same – Meaning that the developers fail to structure an application all by themselves. Even if they wish to, the lack of sufficient knowledge prevents them from doing it.

To prevent so, leverage our Ruby on Rails development services as they spend extra time in learning the new concept.

Challenge #7 Following the Single Responsibility Principle

It is evident that Ruby on rails helps ease the process of development and deployment. It has, as a matter of fact, thousands of gems, tools, and modules that speed up the development process. However, it also has a series of conventions that every developer needs to follow – One of them being the single responsibility principle.

It is expected that developers do not embed much logic in the controller/view/model.

Failing the above, the developers violate the principle, and this has a drastic effect on the performance of the application. Adding more logic than needed leads to larger file size which further makes it difficult to identify an error as a lot of ‘auto-magic’ coding happens in Ruby on rails behind-the-scenes.

Here, we have a primary Event Model that keeps track of several events. In addition to the above, the model also generates tokens.

primary Event Model

The above can be optimized into a much cleaner code as:
