I believe Github still use Rails for their main application. Spinning services out into microservices, even ones that are other languages, isn't really a sign that Rails isn't working for them, it's just what happens when companies scale. The company I work for is a Rails backend (React frontend) and we have some services split out into Go based microservices (eg. Twilio webhook handling has been offloaded to Go in Lambda), but it's still very much a Rails app.

It remains to be seen how successful this is and what the reasons were for the change. Personally I don't like it, it's less reliable and slower than before.
