Rails 4, ActiveRecord, MySQL, jQuery, RESTful API, CGI deployment

Rails 4 template with a RESTful architecture and strict MVC conventions: ActiveRecord for the catalog/orders/users, a session-based cart system, payment gateway integration, modular ERB views, and deployment on shared CGI hosting.

The Rails 4 template follows strict RESTful conventions: each resource (product, category, order, user) has its standard routes (index, show, create, update, destroy). ActiveRecord manages the complex associations between products, variants, carts and orders with validations and callbacks.

The cart system uses sessions to temporarily store items, with database persistence for logged-in users. The payment gateway integration is abstracted behind a common interface that makes it possible to switch providers without touching the business logic. Deployment on shared CGI hosting uses a configuration optimized for the constraints of that kind of environment.
