Here are some of the main limits of Ruby on Rails as a web application framework:
Performance: Rails can be slower compared to other frameworks like Node.js, especially for high-traffic websites that require very fast response times[1][3]. Rails uses a lot of abstraction which can impact performance.
Scalability: While Rails scales well for many applications, it may not be the best choice for extremely large-scale websites with billions of users and requests. The MVC architecture and abstractions can make it challenging to scale to that level[1][3].
Flexibility: Rails encourages following "The Rails Way" and using conventions. This can make it harder to deviate from the standard patterns and structure Rails expects. More flexibility is possible but requires more work[1][3].
