What frameworks would you use to handle such an steep growth curve? Most startups I know of start of with rails or the like - and obviously they couldn't handle the strain. So what would you use?

I would use Rails, but I wouldn't do things like try to write an asynchronous message queue in Ruby (like Twitter did).

I mean sites like Shopify, Hulu, YellowPages.com, etc. "handle the strain" just fine.
