Sinatra is a Ruby DSL for quickly creating web applications with minimal effort, built on Rack. It provides routing, filters, sessions, and support for many template languages in a lightweight microframework.
Use cases
- build a small web api in ruby
- create a lightweight web app without rails
- serve json endpoints quickly
- prototype a web service
- build a webhook receiver
- create a simple website with templates
When to choose
- you want a minimal ruby web framework with a simple DSL
- you need a small service or api without rails overhead
- you want fine control over rack middleware
- you're building microservices or small endpoints
When to avoid
- you need a full-stack framework with batteries included like orm, auth, and asset pipeline
- you're building a large monolithic web application
- you're not working in ruby
