The goal of my team is to implement System Integrations.

Our requirements:

- Do it fast
- Do it good
- Our app must be able to be monitored (e.g.: SNMP)
- Async messages sometimes are necessary (e.g.: JMS)
- 2PC transactions
- LDAP access
- To integrate distributed systems
- Clustering
- Fail over, Load Balance

Is it possible using Ruby? I read that the language is not young
(since 1995), but I'm not sure about how mature it is.

Maybe this kind of question was already answered here. I'm sorry if it
is the case. I'd be glad if you could point me to the message history.

Kind Regards,
Marco Campelo
