Light Service
A Ruby service skeleton framework for orchestrating business logic into a series of simple, single-responsibility actions.
What is Light Service?
LightService is a Ruby framework for structuring complex business workflows as a series of simple, single-responsibility actions. It solves the problem of tangled, hard-to-test service logic by providing a clear pattern for orchestrating steps, handling errors, and managing data flow between operations.
Ruby and Rails developers building maintainable service layers, especially those dealing with multi-step business processes, ETL pipelines, or complex controller logic that violates the Single Responsibility Principle.
Developers choose LightService for its emphasis on simplicity and clarity. It enforces a declarative style that makes workflows easy to follow, provides built-in tools for validation and error handling, and integrates seamlessly with Rails while keeping business logic decoupled and testable.
