100k views/day, while not huge is certainly way more than what the usual application you'd build nowadays is hit with.

To recommend against rails based on the assumption that it'll scale badly in cases where it has to handle more than 100k views per day isn't really helpful.

Once you reach these values, chances are, you'll have team, budget and need for a custom solution anyways.

Now, I'm no rails developer and I never got to really like the framework. So if you ask me, I would find other issues that prevent me myself from using rails (many personal soft-facts - a matter of preference). The (supposed) inability to scale beyond 100k views/day isn't one I'd consider first
