This is a nice interview with one of the developers of Twitter, talking about the issues they face with Ruby on Rails when it reaches peak usage. Apparently the site is getting around 11,000 hits a second on peak times, and since Rails cannot talk to more than one database at a time, this is causing big time delay for end user. This does not mean we should all keep away from Ruby on Rails, as it a great potential in cutting down development cycles, and enforcing the MVC. Unless you are planning of building a site that will receive this massive hit, I guess RoR would do just fine.
