A Rails application template preloaded with best practices for TDD, security, deployment, and developer productivity.
Ackama Rails Template is a pre-configured application template for Ruby on Rails projects. It provides a production-ready foundation with built-in best practices for testing, security, code quality, and deployment, eliminating the need to manually assemble these components for every new application.
Rails development teams and individual developers who want to start new projects with a robust, secure, and maintainable setup without spending time on initial configuration.
Developers choose this template because it encapsulates over a decade of professional Rails experience into a single, opinionated starting point, ensuring applications are built on secure, tested conventions from the outset, significantly reducing setup time and technical debt.
Application template for Rails projects; preloaded with best practices for TDD, security, deployment, and developer productivity.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Integrates Brakeman for static analysis, Pundit for authorization, and a secure Content Security Policy, based on over a decade of pen-test experience to protect applications from common vulnerabilities.
Pre-configures Axe and Lighthouse with RSpec matchers, enforcing WCAG 2AA compliance and performance audits, ensuring accessibility is baked into the development workflow from the start.
Includes Overcommit for automated git hooks, Rubocop for Ruby linting, and Prettier for code formatting, reducing manual linting and enforcing consistent code style across teams.
Sets up Lograge for structured logs, OkComputer for health checks, and Sentry for error monitoring, making applications easier to debug and maintain in live environments.
Explicitly states it only supports PostgreSQL, limiting flexibility for projects that rely on other databases like MySQL or SQLite, as noted in the README.
Requires a YAML configuration file to manage optional features, adding an extra setup step and complexity compared to simpler templates that use command-line flags.
Bundles numerous tools like Shakapacker, multiple linters, and accessibility testers, which can increase initial setup time and maintenance burden for lean projects.
