Jets: The Ruby Serverless Framework
summary
Jets compiles Ruby MVC and job code into AWS components so Ruby methods become Lambda functions, routes become API Gateway resources and jobs become CloudWatch scheduled events. It supports ActiveRecord with RDS or DynamoDB, a local server, REPL and CLI, and translates Ruby controllers to Lambda functions and deploys a scaffolded CRUD app with four commands to a working RDS-backed API. It handles cold starts (roughly 500 ms–1.5 s with reasonable memory), respects ~250 MB code package limits, and has pre-warming built in.
