help Ratpack FAQ
Is Ratpack a Ruby framework or a Java framework?
Ratpack is a JVM web framework commonly used with Java and Groovy, not a Ruby framework. Its APIs are built around asynchronous, non-blocking request handling.
What is Ratpack used to build?
Ratpack is used for web applications, HTTP APIs, and small services that need fast request handling. It is especially associated with reactive or asynchronous applications on the Java Virtual Machine.
Does Ratpack use blocking or non-blocking request handling?
Ratpack is designed around non-blocking I/O and event-driven execution. Blocking work should be moved to an appropriate execution pool so it does not stall other requests.
How does Ratpack compare with Spring Boot?
Spring Boot provides a much larger ecosystem, including dependency injection, data access, security, and production integrations. Ratpack is a narrower framework that can be attractive when a lightweight asynchronous HTTP layer is the main need.
