Ruby has threads, when networking the GIL doesn't matter since the threads will context switch. For a company like Shopify paying for an extra 50 servers is like hiring one developer, I don't think it has much significance to them.

JRuby can solve that problem. Threading in Ruby. Some companies do use it: https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/SuccessStories
