I used rails for like a year from 2014 to 2015 and loved it, then switched to Django.

Have there been any big changes to rails since that would make it faster to get something up and running vs Django?

Also I pretty much only ran Django on app engine. Is there something similarly convenient for ruby/rails apps so I don't need to learn like a dozen AWS tools to deploy a rails app or fuss with servers?

Sounds way better than what I was using, Rails 2 because our team was afraid to migrate to Rails 3 iirc.

Really sounds tempting for personal projects. Nearly all my experience has been python+Django on app engine, though, so there's gonna be extra work involved as I have to learn a new platform, one that probably won't take care of as much of the nuisances that App engine did.

Will see if heroku is good. I glanced at it and it seemed like a pain in the rear end but so did app engine when I first used it.

Yeah, I don't blame them for being afraid. Our stack was about as non-standard as you could possibly get so just getting rails 2 running in the first place was a complicated mess.

And you're making me feel better about my next attempt to try out heroku.

Totally a valid setup. Docker desktop has a beta feature available for development containers. VSCode can connect straight into those containers. You don't actually have to have any natively installed dependencies, it can all be in docker.

See more here:
https://docs.docker.com/desktop/dev-environments/

So I can have the same dev environment for my hobby projects no matter which PC I develop on WITHOUT any hassle to make sure I set them up the same?

That's awesome.
