> A curated stack collection by [@builtonrails](https://builtonrails.com/@builtonrails)

The complete Rails 8 stack: Solid Queue, Solid Cache, Solid Cable, Hotwire, and Kamal deployment.

## LLM Context

```markdown
You are building a Rails 8 application using the modern Omakase stack. Use Solid Queue for background jobs, Solid Cache for caching, and Solid Cable for WebSockets. Deploy with Kamal to any VPS.
```

## Stacks

1. **Ruby on Rails** (Framework)
   - The foundation - Rails 8.x with all the new goodies
2. **Solid Queue** (Background)
   - Database-backed job queue - no Redis needed
3. **Hotwire** (Frontend)
   - The frontend framework built into Rails
4. **Turbo** (Frontend)
   - SPA-like navigation without the SPA
5. **Stimulus** (Frontend)
   - Modest JavaScript for HTML you already have
6. **Kamal** (DevOps)
   - Zero-downtime deployments to any VPS
7. **PostgreSQL** (Database)
   - The reliable workhorse database
8. **Tailwind CSS** (Frontend)
   - Utility-first CSS that ships with Rails
