New Relic just posted some basic statistics on the Rails applications they monitor. They include lists of the top Ruby gems and top Rails plugins installed for each application they monitor. Patrick and I were delighted to discover that our ActiveMerchant code contribution is installed with 15% of Rails applications. We wrote the code for SandwichBoard and Patrick continues to improve upon it for LivingSocial Daily Deals.
Whether or not those 15% are actually using our code for Authorize.Net ARB or CIM credit card charging is unclear; but, it’s cool to know your code is installed with that many applications.
