What to study for high-load projects?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Please tell me which books to read for building high-load architecture on a web project, in particular, rails is of interest. Yes, I understand that everything comes with experience, but I want to start moving in this direction.

Answer 1

not specifically on ruby, but in general, study such concepts as vertical and horizontal scaling, load balancers, caching systems: redis, document-oriented databases.
Web server: nginx, task queue servers: rabbitmq. And there are no books on highload.

Answer 2

Matches normally. We have 20k requests per minute. Average response time 250 ms. Is this a highload? 90% of principles and solutions are framework and language independent.

Answer 3

Erm, well, highload and rails don't go well together.
