Devise is a rack based full-fledged authentication system for Rails. It is a complete MVC solution meaning it can support various models, views and controllers as part of its code and can be used be directly by developers. Devise is simple to use and starts up with a couple of commands but it is also highly customizable.

History

Devise is first introduced in January 2010 by Plataformatec, a company which builds web and mobile applications. Devise is one of the few authentication systems which support rack based applications and hence can support Rails 3 and up as they are completely rack based. The latest version of Devise available is v3.5.3 and it is up to date to Rails 5 beta 2.
