The Basics of Rack for Ruby

SMRTR summary

Rack is a crucial interface between Ruby web applications and servers, enabling compatibility between various frameworks and servers. It standardizes how requests and responses are handled. While Rack 2 had limitations for persistent connections like WebSockets, Rack 3 introduced changes to address this.

Popular frameworks like Rails and Roda are Rack-compliant, allowing developers to access low-level Rack functionality when needed.
