Having run a platform on RoR that did billions of requests per day, it scales just fine. It’s not as cost effective as Go, Java, Rust, etc., but it’s perfectly scaleable. Scaling web apps horizontally invariably becomes more about where your data lives, how it gets scaled out, how it’s accessed, how work get processed (jobs), what caching you do, what memory requirements you have.... yada yada. Rails wasn’t ideal, but rarely are you ever working in a pristine “ideal” tech stack once you’ve hit scale and you’re 5 years into a business. |
