Oh, one thing that you didn't mention: database. If you are using MySQL, I strongly recommend getting rid of it and switching to PostgreSQL, which is a much more capable database system. And whatever DBMS you are using, please respect the database's intelligence by giving it the tools to help you out. That means using foreign key constraints (with the foreigner gem), making proper use of aggregate functions, indices, and bulk queries.
