Rails Performance Needs an Overhaul

Re:Rails Performance Needs an Overhaul by trebor on Monday June 07, 2010 @11:31AM (#1410806)

Rails is released under the MIT license, Stanley. It's been open-source for a long time. Fork them and make whatever improvements you want and start a push request.

Instead of complain about how slow it is, why not attempt making an "evented" version of Rails? Enable thread-safety for Rails to get a speedy application, even on a shared server.

Frankly, I can't write code for EventMachine. Just looking at its style makes me cringe: there's just something about the design of EM apps that I can't compromise with (and it ain't the fact that it's evented).

This completely misses the point of what I wrote. I didn't complain about how slow Rails is. The original post does. I'm saying that we could all use some help in improving Rails performance so why not release Goliath as open-source? Sounds like that is in the pipeline though based on other comments in this thread.

Yep, here's the async activerecord mysql driver: http://www.igvita.com/2010/04/15/non-blocking-activerecord-r...

It's a start.
