I know Shopify founder is a big fan of Rails and RoR framework from a documentary [1]

So does not surprise if he is doing this as an acqui-hire to get more quality RoR Devs to join Shopify!

are they not all-in on remix/js now? or is the backend side all still rails?

Does Remix come close to Rails in terms of dealing with things like auth and databases and such?

[willsmith72]

well it depends.. remix is just the compiler, your backend is just whatever node/cloudflare/whatever framework/libraries you want. so no, it's nothing like rails in the batteries-included sense, but if someone built their server using node previously, it's the exact same using remix
