For traditional monolithic MVC applications, Rails is great! But it's a bit harder to operate smaller services into it's rather bulky design. Sinatra is great for smaller HTTP based services but I'm curious, is there a Rails like framework (having generators and other helpers) for service orientated architectures?
Brandon Hilkert has been doing some posts about this topic. You can check them out here. There are also some books available on Amazon like this one. StichFix also created a gem to somewhat assist in this.

I have an API only rails app which needs documentation for frontend developers. And it's my first experience with it.
What tool do you use for this purpose? Note that I am using rails 5 API and not Grape.
I tested Apipie, swagger-blocks, and swagger-docs gems, but they are obsolete or buggy. There must be a better option!
Any recommendations respected
Well, I found Slate one of the best out there.
did you try RSpec Api Documentation? https://github.com/zipmark/rspec_api_documentation
There is an article on using it with codeship here: https://blog.codeship.com/producing-documentation-for-your-rails-api/

I already developed a big part of my system but I'd like to know if rails 4 provides something interesting and easy to use for this means......Are there any libraries or built-in methods I could use to simplify sessions and users?
Strictly speaking as included in Rails, you may want to explore HttpAuthentication: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/HttpAuthentication/Basic.html
Otherwise the gems Monban and Devise are pretty popular.

Just started learning Ruby on Rails here, and I'm about to start working on a backend for content management for custom-built mobile clients, where the clients connect to the server through a web-service.
I figured that instead of reinventing the wheel it would probably be best to just use a well-respected CMS gem to manage users and the various objects (products, product categories, images, etc), but every single one I look at seem to be almost exclusively made for generating websites, and not to manage content for a webservice.
Are there any good RoR CMS gems out there that I can tailor to fit my needs, or do I have to write my own from scratch?
You could use rails_admin for your CMS application.

Looking for something that non programmers could drag and drop and create entities and forms to do simple business processes. Seems like it wouldn't be that hard, but don't want to reinvent the wheel.
To be clear I am looking for something that gives the power to the user of the app to build forms and entities, kind of like salesforce gives in terms of capability of creating entities, extending their entities and allowing you to build your own forms without writing any code.

What do you all think are the best resources for adding a "friendship" system to your rails social networking sites? The main three I have found:
Self-Referential Associations - Railscast
acts_as_network
has_many_friends
However i find that the railscast one tends to be a bit simplistic, and a lack of implementation documentation for the other two. Can anyone recommend any other plugins or tutorials that might help with the development of this aspect of my social network?
Thanks!
If you're using restful authentication I would highly recommend this tutorial. It's not the most elegant fleshed out solution, but it will get you on the right path. I was able to copy the code almost verbatim into an app and it works great.
