So let's just forget about Basecamp, Github, AirBnb, Hulu, Kickstarter, MyFitnessPal, Twitch and all the other Rails sites and continue to pretend Rails can't scale and won't work for the modern web.
- subfay 8y agoNone of them is on a standard unmodded Rails stack.
- JangoSteve 8y agoI'm not sure any highly-scaled, mature application is on a standard unmodded anything stack.
- zwickerlives 8y agoBasecamp is always on the latest or beta version of rails, Rails 6 at the moment. GitHub has recently updated to version 5 and are merging a large mount of their scaling gems for version 6. There are some podcasts and keynotes where DHH talks about their stacks.
- jkmcf 8y agoI love Ruby and like Rails, but unless you can cache most of your content, scaling is going to cost you.
