@sdogruyol thanks to you for this brillant introduction, something i would like understand more is about these topics:

  1. Deployment (how i replace Unicorn + Nginx);
  2. ORM
  3. E-mail sending
  4. CORS Authentication
  5. Multi-DB support

@fabiomux nice questions, here are the answers

  1. Deployment is just dropping your binary to server. You can use Nginx to reverse proxy just your Kemal app ( Nginx → Kemal)

  2. Currently there’s active_record.cr but it’s not a replacement for ActiveRecord from Rails.

  3. There’s no built-in SMTP in Crystal yet, instead you can use Mandrill, SendGrid via API

  4. You can configure your headers for CORS.

  5. I haven’t tried using a Multi-DB setup but in theory it should be possible.
