Which ruby frameworks are appropriate for internal services?

I'm making a web service that will only be used internally by other parts of my system. It will never have html rendering, and it will never be a publicly available API.

The two main candidates are sinatra and grape. Are there any others I should consider?

I have used both Grape and Sinatra for these types of services and both are fine. I prefer Grape because:

  • Automatic serialization is convenient (JSON by default)
  • For RESTful services, 'resource' allows you to logically group resources

If you have an existing Rails application you can mount Sinatra/Grape/WhateverRackBasedMiddleware you decide to use for your service.
