Sinatra is faster but enjoy writing the boilerplate.

I'll have my Rails API up in half the time. Why worry about scaling before you have to?

That sounds awfully like famous last words...

In addition, I would say the mentality of scalability when constructing applications is part and parcel of the design ideology of ruby, but too often far removed from its practice.

I see no reason to prefer Rails API. It is a reverse-frankenstein situation whereby they had the monster, and started removing limbs...
