Off the top of my head, I think Github and Gitlab are both based on Rails, as well as Shopify and Airbnb. So there are for sure some very large companies that use Rails successfully at scale. I can't speak to how difficult it was to develop or deploy, and it seems like Ruby as a whole has lost some popularity, but Rails has worked and continues to work for a lot of organizations.
- Gigachad 4y agoIt seems like a herculean effort to make it work from what I have seen at GitLab. Which includes having the majority of the site not in rails but Go microservices. Personally I find that Ruby is more the problem than Rails. Having an untyped language makes things extremely difficult to work with as the app grows. Gem updates are very difficult to do safely.
