2026 Ruby on Rails Community Survey

In 2024, 2,709 Rails developers shared how they actually work: the tools they trust, the teams they're on, where they're deploying, and what's keeping them up at night.

For 2026, we're going deeper, including how AI is fitting into Rails workflows, and whether it actually is. Your perspective helps complete that picture. The more voices in the data, the more useful it is for everyone who reads the results, including you. And we publish everything, free, for the whole community.

Ten minutes. Anonymous. Worth it.
