The RAM and CPU issue is why I'm writing Perl+Dancer instead of Ruby+Rails.

I do have a few Rails apps deployed, but only on internal hardware where
changing the RAM is trivial at Gem update time.  A few times that I've tried
updating gems ran out of memory with less than 1G allocated to the VM.
Unbelievable. If written in some other language, 384MB would probably be fine
for the app and module management (assuming a different VM for the RDBMS).
