## Notes

Padrino is a Ruby web framework built upon the Sinatra library and installed as the padrino gem. Its generator creates projects that can use the sqlite, postgres or mysql database adapters, with erb, haml, slim or liquid as the template language.

The framework includes an admin interface with user authentication and authorization management, and ships translations for it. A project runs as a process the developer starts with padrino start or with the server's own command, so it stays running between requests.
