This looks like a web service framework, rather than a web application framework like Rails/Django. Like it's closer to Sinatra/Express than Rails -

The speed of Rails comes with rapid development & strong conventions leaving the important stuff (like business logic and building something) to you.

Once you get to a size where scale is an issue with Rails, you'll have a startup that's working - it's a better problem to have than a startup that has perfect fast code but no customers.
