Running GitHub on Rails 6.0

This is a non-issue for literally 99.99% of applications and considering it before being "at scale" is simply a waste of mental energy.

You are missing the point.

As somebody pointed out there are millions of applications that can use Rails because scale is not a problem for them. If all those millions of applications do 1 req/s then you have 1M req/s served with Rails instead of something that is more reasonable. The CO2 production of these low scale Rails web app quickly add up.

How comes this? A higher CPU consumption currently it is going to have a higher CO2 footprint, even in a cloud-based, shared-VMs scenario.
