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?

Very few sites have had and will have that kind of growth curve. Moreover, the cloud and the workloads you can run on it are substantially different now than they were 10+ years ago. So what would I use? Probably the most productive framework I could find, not necessarily the most performant one, because odds are that my app would never attain the scale I'm preparing for, but that preparation overhead may be the handicap that prevents that level of success in the first place.
