I recently played with ruby and ruby on rails. 37signals, ruby rails creator, says it scales very well on their servers It has a mod for apache and i understand that if you want even greater scalability (resources wise), you can install lighthttpd server which is considered faster than apache and secure. Regarding the development scalability, from what i have seen it scales well. You have infrastrucutre called migration which allows you to migrate your schemas and data to other platforms and there is advanced session storage where you can store the session in database instead of files thus, user accessing one site and jumps to another will receive same session information. Enjoy.
