Most of this is pretty standard scaling advice - except the "Tobi" caching, which has some good ideas I haven't seen elsewhere.

Im surprised how transparent this is. Halfing response time on a system that large is no easy task.

Shopify itself is written in Ruby using the Rails framework. I believe we're one of the oldest and largest Rails projects out there.

Some parts of our infrastructure are written in other frameworks (e.g. Thin) and languages (e.g. Go).
