About:
Grails is a powerful web application framework built on Groovy, leveraging the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for high performance and interoperability. It significantly boosts developer productivity through its 'convention over configuration' paradigm, integrated build system, and seamless support for GORM (Grails Object Relational Mapping) for database interactions.
Key Features:
  • Convention over configuration for rapid development
  • Seamless GORM integration for flexible database access
  • Built-in development server with hot reload
  • Full Java interoperability and ecosystem access
Use Cases:
  • Rapid prototyping of web applications
  • Building RESTful APIs and microservices
  • Enterprise web application development
Alternatives:
  • Spring Boot – More explicit configuration compared to Grails' convention-based approach
  • Ruby on Rails – Similar productivity focus but runs on JVM vs Ruby runtime
