The Ruby itself is very stable. I have several web applications that
run for months without restarting. But also I'd like to note that no
programming language can guarantee 24/7 uptime for your application.
You still have to implement the high-availability solution which would
require the hardware and network redundancy. I have a very positive
experience with projects such as Linux HA and Wakamole that greatly
simplify the implementation of high-availability solution.
