Also, as the industry has shifted away from monolithic web frameworks to tightly controlled 'microservices' then the relevance of something as heavy as RoR wanes.

Right, although personally I think there'll be a heavy backlash against microservices (that's already begun in some circles.)

Yeah, the whole industry cycles between ideals; each generation rediscovering the benefits and drawbacks of each. Hence the renaissance of event driven applications.

It's all good. Go with the flow and learn. ;)
