I think I need to restate what my goal is:
The whole reasoning for my questioning is that I currently build command-line based scripts ( data mashers, etc ) in Ruby. For most of my day-to-day work, that's all I need. However, I am involved in larger projects that are currently being developed in Java, C++, etc. I'm looking for examples of larger (enterprise-scale) projects that have been implemented in Ruby so that when I make proposals for new systems/services/tools etc that I'd like to write in Ruby, I have some formal documentation as to "it can be done, it *has* been done, it runs well & fast" ... Etc.
I'd like to be able to show examples where a multi-tiered application ( and I don't simply mean a web tier and a database tier, I mean something with intermediate business logic layers that exist separately from the DB and/or the presentation logic ) has been built, runs all the time, and is easier to maintain.
...
And, as to the comment about any system @ amazon being written in ruby, I can state that there are only 3 supported programming languages within amazon and Ruby is not and has not ever been one of them.
