Ruby On Rails Scalability Optimization

Yes, Ruby on Rails can scale. But, the secret to success is knowing how to do it effectively. We’ve built websites which could handle over 10,000 requests per second. Simple? No. But, here’s a few places we’ll look:

• The database. We use a suite of tools and years of experience to find slow queries and other bottlenecks and improve overall site performance.
• Memcached. Maybe you’ve heard of it? All the big players use memcached to scale their applications more effectively. We can bring that power into your application.
• Scalable architecture. Although growing your application can be done most effectively on the software side of your application, it’s just as important to ensure your server hardware can grow as well.
• Content delivery. Effective use of a Content Delivery Network can dramatically speed up your site for your clients. We’ll make sure you’re setup to deliver the best user experience for your customers.
• Testing. Before your application gets saturated with traffic, we can simulate thousands of users hitting your site to make sure it behaves properly and to test for potential weaknesses.

We can look over your app and write a review, or we can work alongside your development team to get your app in top-notch shape. Give us a call to find out more.
