Yeah but Shopify also runs on GraphQL and Remix which are way more modern. ~~This is like saying Twitter is RoR~~

edit: no it's not

I worked at Shopify up until a year ago. github.com/shopify/shopify repo powers almost every inch of Shopify's infrastructure and is entirely a rails monolith. It is not the same as saying Twitter is still rails.

Edit: Shopify engineering publishes some neat articles, particularly on scaling rails + other systems. E.g https://shopify.engineering/horizontally-scaling-the-rails-backend-of-shop-app-with-vitess
