Merb the Pocket Rocket Framework
summary
Merb claims real speed — typical request paths hit ~500µs and some actions render <1 ms actions enabling apps at tens of millions of hits/day. It enforces a stable public API, is modular so features like slices package controllers/models/views as gems, and adds a run_later background queue for noncritical async work. Deployment uses fork-before-load restart for near-instant reloads and a tiny shim, mini_gem reduces startup bloat, to avoid loading full RubyGems.
