This document summarizes scaling Ruby applications for enterprise use. It discusses profiling tools like New Relic, databases like MongoDB and MySQL, queues like 0MQ and RabbitMQ, tools like Chef, testing with RSpec and Cucumber, dealing with legacy code, and adopting a component architecture with state on the wire. Specific techniques discussed include vertical scaling on EC2 by moving subsystems to different instance types, horizontal scaling by adding more machines and using Chef to provision them, and how these approaches improved metrics like throughput, database I/O, and size. The document emphasizes measuring performance, not prematurely optimizing, and allowing failure during development.
