For me, it's because Rails has continued to be an excellent solution in every application I've ever needed to build, whether it's a project with 1 user or 10 million, or with a dev team of 1 or 100.

Every time I try to solve a problem with anything other than Rails, I run into endless issues and headaches that would have been already solved if I just. used. Rails.

Even when you have a problem set bigger than Rails, keeping everything in the Rails world and using something like Sidekiq to manage most of the backend complexity. For many cases, reasonable polling works as well as event-driven architecture, but if you absolutely have to do that, one-off lambdas that talk to Sidekiq or other parts of your Rails-stack work well enough.

It sounds like you have mastered Rails and know how to solve all of its "issues and headaches".
