I’m posting today to introduce Groovestack: PostgreSQL, Ruby on Rails, GraphQL and React-admin for fullstack application development (especially back-office platforms and dashboard applications).
Our team has been leveraging this stack successfully for multiple projects and have found this combination to be robust, feature-rich, scalable and cost-effective. It’s an opinionated, fullstack framework that eschews the ‘bring-any-database’ and ‘bring-any-API’ Rails philosophy for specific choices that are an ideal fit for many applications.
We’ve used this stack to build a variety of back-office and end-user applications. We’ve found development accelerates as common patterns become recognized by the team - easing integration and generating more code reuse. Groovestack allows for leaner modules by reducing requirements to a smaller set of configurations.
We are posting here to find teams that are already using this stack and those that are interested in how it might benefit their projects.
By giving this stack a name, we hope to make it easier to aggregate the community and accelerate the development of new Groovestack-compatible modules. #groovestack
We’ve put together an introduction that describes the rationale for choosing these components as well as some new community resources that we are organizing.
To demonstrate how these pieces fit together, we’ve launched a Groovestack Demo that incorporates our CORE Jobs module which provides a full API and administrative UI for background jobs in Rails. There is a link to the demo from the Groovestack page.
