See section 22.7 “Case Studies” in the “Agile Web D. with
Rails” book.

They took it out? Hm.

The answer is “yes”. Since Rails invites a share-nothing architecture,
it is very easy to scale horizontally with increasing load. The v1
book describes a case of a Rails installation spread over ten servers
and handling about 300 requests per second of hard-to-cache real-life
traffic.
