Hanami is a full-stack, modular Ruby web framework composed of small single-purpose libraries (router, actions, views, database, assets) tied together for building maintainable web apps and APIs. It emphasizes separated concerns, explicit business logic, and a dedicated data layer with relations, repositories, and structs.

Use cases

• build a maintainable ruby web application
• create a json api in ruby
• replace rails with a lighter modular framework
• structure business logic with composable operations
• manage database queries with repositories and relations
• build a full-stack web app with server-rendered views

When to choose

• you want a modular, explicit-architecture alternative to Rails for Ruby web apps
• you value testability, separation of concerns, and a dedicated data layer
• you need to build APIs or server-rendered apps with Rack-compatible components

When to avoid

• you need a huge ecosystem of gems and batteries-included conventions like Rails
• your team relies on ActiveRecord-style patterns
• you are building non-web tooling where a web framework adds overhead
