RubyWorks Overview
RubyWorksTM provides products and support to increase Ruby adoption in enterprises. More than forty percent of ThoughtWorks’ new consulting projects in the U.S are now developed using Ruby on Rails.

To facilitate the ever-expanding popularity of Ruby, ThoughtWorks Studios has launched RubyWorks – a new products-and-support service for Ruby. Designed to help enterprises implement and use Ruby more effectively, RubyWorks includes a selection of supported developer tools, application stacks, environmental tools, frameworks and libraries.

Register Interest

RubyWorks currently includes:


A production stack of application and environment tools
  • This free, open source LAMP production stack is for RedHat Enterprise Edition and CentOS, and will allow users to quickly put Rails applications on production servers.
  • ThoughtWorks will also offer paid, 24x7 support for this stack in mid-July.

Developer tools
  • CruiseControl.rb is an open source, continuous integration tool written in Ruby by ThoughtWorks. It's free to download and use.
  • ThoughtWorks supports JRuby – which allows Ruby developers to use existing Java libraries and deployment infrastructure. If you're considering building an application in JRuby, we'll provide paid support options in mid-July to help you get up and running.

Frameworks and libraries
  • This area is coming soon, so stay tuned.

Over time, we will continue to release new products and services as part of RubyWorks – all of which will be designed for simplicity and to preserve the values of the Ruby community.

As the Ruby development community grows, so will the likelihood that 'enterprise' tool vendors will come knocking. ThoughtWorks is committed to working with the community to build solutions to enterprise problems, not adding to the bloat of 'enterprise' software.

Moving forward, every RubyWorks project will include:
  • Consultancy and implementation services.
  • 24x7 support services.
  • Clean and easy to read documentation.
The RubyWorks Production Stack license is available here. Watch this space or register your interest to find out more about RubyWorks.
