description: The Complete Guide to Building Highly Scalable Services-Based Rails Applications Ruby on Rails deployments are growing and Rails is increasingly being adopted in larger environments. Today Rails developers and architects need better ways to interface with legacy systems move into the cloud and scale to handle higher volumes and greater complexity. In Service-Oriented Design with Ruby and Rails Paul Dix introduces a powerful services-based design approach geared toward overcoming all these challenges. Using Dixs techniques readers can leverage the full benefits of both Ruby and Rails while overcoming the difficulties of working with larger codebases and teams. Dix demonstrates how to integrate multiple components within an enterprise application stack; create services that can easily grow and connect; and design systems that are easier to maintain and upgrade. Key concepts are explained with detailed Ruby code built using open source libraries such as ActiveRecord Sinatra Nokogiri and Typhoeus. The book concludes with coverage of security scaling messaging and interfacing with third-party services.Service-Oriented Design with Ruby and Rails will help you
