Framework Performance in Ruby on Rails
We recently decided to switch our projects to a MVC framework and our choice of the framework came down to three final contenders:
- Symfony on PHP http://www.symfony-project.com/
- Rails on Ruby http://rubyonrails.org/
- Django on Python http://www.djangoproject.com/
To better understand the pros and cons of each, we wrote a very simple demo application in all three. The app we chose was the one built in the Ruby on Rails tutorial Rolling with Ruby on Rails http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/onlamp/2005/01/20/rails.html.
Summary
Rails performed much better than Symfony. And Django performed much better than Rails.
