Toot

Is there anyone who has decided to use engines to modularize their Rails apps and stayed at the company long enough to suffer the consequences?

I see many (new/old) blog posts talking about how using engines is a good choice, but only talks about simple scenarios (most of them just teach how to setup engines).

I worked in 3 companies that used Rails engines in their apps, in all of them the engines did not solve the problems they promised to solve, on the contrary.

@ste I have had the experience you describe.

Never use engines for one app. Or two apps. Consider using engines when you want that same thing across many apps. I have seen it succeed for very tightly-scoped things, and they are still hard to work with.
