This is quite a broad question hence the fact that it really depends on  
the type of application you’re running. But here are a few examples:

Application with user signup/login system:

- acts\_as\_authenticated plugin

Application with full text search capabilities:

- acts\_as\_solr
- acts\_as\_ferret
- acts\_as\_sphinx

Web stats for your rails app

- Sitealizer Web Stats

File upload handling

- attachment\_fu
- file\_column

And so on…
