# Introduction

Amber is a web development framework written in the Crystal language which implements the server-side MVC pattern using the object-oriented paradigm. Many of its components and concepts will seem familiar to those of us with experience in other web frameworks like Phoenix, Ruby on Rails or Python's Django.

Amber aims to deliver developer happiness, productivity, and bare metal performance. The Crystal language is heavily inspired by Ruby, delivering familiarity, productivity, and a low learning curve for experienced Ruby developers. Meanwhile, Crystal also has some modern features like macros, first class concurrency, union types, C bindings, and a built in dependency manager. Amber takes advantage of all these features providing you an opinionated structure to develop a web application.

Crystal also has some modern features like macros, concurrency model, union types, c bindings, built in dependency manager. Amber takes advantage of all these features providing you a familiar structure to develop a web application.
Amber offers a variety of familiar tools such as generators, database management, CLI, deployment tools, docker support, encrypted secrets, websockets, and more for fast prototyping and developing enterprise-grade web applications. If you come from a Ruby on Rails background you will feel right at home, but, be aware Amber is not Rails! Amber is type-safe, compiled, and embraces the best features from many different frameworks for example pipes for routing which is more similar to the Phoenix framework.

If you come from the rails world, you will feel right at home but be aware, Amber is not Rails; it's type-safe, compiled, and embraces the best features from many different frameworks so you might notice pipes for routing which is more similar to Phoenix framework.

The aim of this introductory guide is to present a brief, high-level overview of Amber Framework, the parts that make it up, and the layers underneath that support it.
