I like to see things visually, so I made this diagram that follows your excellent post.

Thread safe, ORM agnostic and customizable exceptions among others features will definitely give RoR a run for its money. Thanks Ezra.

Awesome dude! I'm going to pour through this before my next hack-attack.

Merb is ORM agnostic, which means you can use ActiveRecord just as you can in Rails. So yes, your AR models will work with Merb. Just remember to set use_orm :activerecord in dependencies.yml.

Awesome, thanks! So, if I have a Rails app, and want to use merb handlers for a couple various actions, can I reuse the models from the Rails app?

This is a tutorial for people that want to familiarize themselves with the merb framework code and how a request travels through the framework. This is not a complete walkthrough but it will definitely get you into the code base and peeking around at key areas.

To follow along at home with you should grab Merb trunk from svn here:

 svn co http://svn.devjavu.com/merb/trunk merb

This tutorial was written with svn rev #1058 which is trunk as of today. It is probably subject to some change but mostly covers code that is on the hot path and doesn’t change very often.
