We're doing 3.5 billion requests a month on Node and I'm sure it's still a small number compared to what other people are doing.

In many cases your internet provider/government is your #1 concern.

There's a product/market fit thing going on here. Rails is the kind of project that caters to the kind of people who value and can contribute "nice websites and logos" because that…
