LinkedIn Uses Rails, Why Don’t You?
By: Robert Dempsey | Tags:I came across a great article on LinkedIn’s use of Ruby on Rails to serve 1 billion (yes with a ‘b’) page views per month for a Facebook application. The solution is simple: application architecture and appropriate hardware. My favorite line in the article is this: “Jim Meyer, manager of LED says that Rails scales like any other web application: ‘That is to say you need to take into account all the components from the moment the request is received at the load balancer all the way down and all the way back again.’”

That is a GREAT FIND!
It illustrates that true ‘engineering’ is the key to a successful deployment; not simply one framework or another.
