Shopify is built on Ruby on Rails

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.

Thanks for the insight! I've seen so many gql queries in the UI and remix is blowing up so I figured it was at least similar.

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
