So I wanted to finally take action on some of my ideas and build the website for one of them. I decided to use Heroku since I've heard great things about it. I like how it handles all of the server management and allows me to just code. Being an experienced Java guy, I decided to build from their Spring sample app. Unfortunately, this was pretty tricky. Having never used Spring, I started searching online for tutorials. Most of them are either outdated or are too confusing. Despite that, I was able to hack up a little something, but at this point, I'm not sure if I should keep going with Spring. I know some Ruby, and can definitely brush up on it if Rails is the way to go, but I've heard many people complain about performance and scalability on Rails.

So my question is this: Should I continue with Spring, or switch to RoR or some other web framework?
