One issue I have with these frameworks is the scaling pattern/path

With Rails I might do:

1. Fresh rails app

2. Add page caching / CDN

3. Add database/query caching

(I have no apps large enough to require anything past here)

4. Sharding the DB?

Rails is awesome because each step is concise (via the language, ruby) and many other people have demos / documentation on how to do them.

Sure, your framework of choice may be fast at stage 1, but how easy is it to go to 2, 3 and so on when I need to?



Those are all basic optimizations that most make as their apps grow, I doubt there is a single framework in that benchmark that couldn't handle all of them easily.
