In a Rails application, and what kind of code goes where? For code about your database or domain objects. The model is your first stop in Rails. Models are powerful, easy to test, reusable across applications and more like non-Rails code than most of Rails — familiar, even if you don’t know Rails yet. Write tests too, of course!

http://codefol.io/posts/why-do-they-say-rails-doesnt-scale

Why Do They Say Rails Doesn't Scale? If you’re new to Ruby on Rails, you may be new to the old debates (pro and con) about how “Rails doesn’t scale.”.
