What is rails stack?

Question

我已多次遇到rails stack术语，但我仍然无法得到人们称之为rails stack的东西，那么对rails堆栈有什么了解 ？

Answer 1

A "rails stack" refers collectively to all the software needed to run a webapp using Ruby on Rails, most importantly:

• Operating system
• Webserver
• Ruby implementation
• Rails itself
• Database

You'll also often see more project-specific libraries mentioned (eg here ).

This means that the expression "knowledge of the rails stack" is misleading, because different Rails projects may use quite different stacks. What is probably meant is "knowledge of Rails as well as various frameworks and libraries commonly used with Rails".
