It seems that the Ruby on Rails monolith lasted through 10 years of explosive growth at airbnb. Thats a pretty scalable to me.

FTA it sounds that it wasnt he language of framework that was an issue, but rather the monolith model.

Well, you have to put the human cost investment into the picture. When the cost to develop/maintain becomes significantly high, it’s a natural choice to deprecate it and move on to something faster.
