Hi. I've just read an interview of the CTO of Gowalla where they use Ruby and Rails: http://mashable.com/2011/02/23/ruby-on-rails-gowalla/ He says:
Every Rails app that I’ve ever worked on has had to break away from the “ActiveRecord way” at some point, for some part of the app. But it’s not an all-or-nothing question. Most of the time, the standard relational/ActiveRecord approach works perfectly well, and the convenience of following the Rails golden path is completely worthwhile. But most interesting apps will run into at least a few points where the standard tools break down, and you need to access your data differently.
