Can we use RubyOnRails for Banking and financial transactions domain.

Question

Can we use RubyOnRails framework to develop websites for financial transactions & banking transcations.

Is RubyonRails a DSL for banking Domains.

Some days on DSL, i believe most of the facts of Banking system are static and they may not need any subsequent alterations.. simultaneously. So defining a DSL, one way process must work.

Answer 1

As long as you tell me which bank so I can shortsell it, sure.

Answer 2

Of course you can. Ruby on Rails can perform the same tasks as any other web framework. Maybe you should pose a question about a particular task that you think would be hard for Ruby on Rails, and we can address that.

Ruby on Rails is not a DSL for banking. Ruby makes it easy to define your own DSLs, and Ruby on Rails is a good way to get that business logic available over the internet.

Answer 3

Banking transactions are all done in stored procedures in software and databases independent of the web interface to your bank account, so you could use any web framework, but this is one of the only areas where you have sufficiently complex transactional rules that the J2EE stack actually makes sense. RAILS on the other hand is optimized for simple CRUD, which banking ain't. Its possible, but probably not the right tool for the job.
