I want to create a RESTful API for a website which will collect/insert/delete data from a MySQL db. Would Ruby on Rails (RoR) be an appropriate place to do this?
I haven’t used it before, and this is why I wanted to check to see if this is an appropriate occasion or not.
Is it just the API?
I would use Sinatra for that. It will give you more flexibility and speed than a RoR app.

You can read the book Service-Oriented Design with Ruby and Rails, by Paul Dix. It gives you good overview about this topic.
