Sinatra web app under Docker - By Cayce Balara

Sinatra is a DSL for quickly creating web applications in Ruby with minimal effort. It can fill the wide open space of needs that exist between "problems that can be solved with a static site" and "problems that require a full-stack web application". Sinatra doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but if you need some, they are easily added.

In this presentation, I will run through how (and why) I spun up a small web application using Sinatra and Docker.

Ed Note: the "why" is almost certainly more entertaining than the how.

P.S. I'm told that Slim and Lumen are similar "micro-frameworks" written in PHP.
