LinkedIn also had a "Rails->Node" success story where their original architecture used a Rails app as a thick proxy to (apparently relatively slow) backend services. It should be unsurprising that Rails was a bottleneck in that case.

I have yet to read a major "moving on from Ruby" story where it was clear that the use of Ruby and/or Rails was a mistake from the beginning. An architecture that works for 1000 users/day will need to be revised for 100,000 users/day, but that doesn't mean that it would have been a good idea to use the 100k architecture for the 1k product.
