FWIW Rails did not scale well during that time period. (One word: Twitter.) I don't know what the situation is like now but performance was a serious issue with rails in the early days.
- bluedino 13y agoWhat sites are going to have Twitter's scaling problems, though?
- kazagistar 13y agoAnd more importantly, I am pretty sure most startups would gladly have twitter's scaling problems in exchange for being the next twitter.
- hyperbovine 13y agoAdmittedly very few, although I did run into performance issues on Rails sites handling orders of magnitude less traffic. It's an interesting use case though -- tough to imagine a simpler web app than circa-2006 Twitter. Tellingly, they ultimately threw up their hands and moved it all to Scala.
