Ruby on Rails Developer Series: Spinning Up a JSON API in Minutes

Welcome to the first of four Ruby on Rails Developer Series. In this series, the goal is to outline how to strengthen your API with Postgres, how to dockerize your project and add security layers to mitigate attacks to your application. In this article, we’ll cycle through building a quick API-only application uses the JSON API from Active Model Serializer. Then construct a basic CRUD Controller API example on retrieving the User information. While the process is outlined and best practices are used. The goal of the series is to make you feel confident as an engineer in building a structured project with Ruby on Rails.
