Going lightweight with Sinatra
We started taking Sinatra more seriously after we heard Adam Wiggins and Blake Mizerany’s talk about building lightweight web services with Sinatra and RestClient. Jay chose Sinatra to build a small geo-tagging service that he had been wanting to work on for a while, and he was very pleasantly surprised: lightweight, fast, clear, with lots of freedom.
Apparently there’s a lot of people out there who are loving it: check out this list of links and resources for Sinatra, including quite a few pointers to production-mode applications out there.
