Twitter Said To Be Abandoning Ruby on Rails

We’re hearing this from multiple sources: After nearly two years of high profile scaling problems, Twitter
is planning to abandon Ruby on Rails as their web framework and start
from scratch with PHP or Java (another solution is to stick with the
Ruby language and move away from the Rails framework).

Former Chief Architect Blaine Cook
famously said scaling Rails was “easy” in April 2007 (see image to
right), but problems persisted after Cook claimed to have conquered the
problem. The service most recently had a three day outage affecting their largest users.
