Improve Rely on your database
Improve Where is your cache?
Improve Redis on a separate machine - fast Redis on
the same machine - faster Application memory - the fastest
Improve Multi-layered cache (Russian doll caching)
Improve When needed - mutate
Improve Upgrade your libraries
Improve When needed - replace your libraries
Improve gem 'json' gem 'oj' gem 'oj-mimic-json'
Improve Native extensions - not only C!

Improve Move processing to the background
Improve When desperate - extract part of the application
Improve I said "when desperate" not "ASAP NOW!!!11"
Improve I said "part", not "rewrite everything in Go"

Speed up your API use CDN infrastructure profile and benchmark
focus on the slowest part rewriting is the last thing to consider
Speed up your API Ruby is fast enough Sinatra is
fast enough Rails is fast enough
