Look at Rack: http://rack.rubyforge.org/

It gives you a thin web-server independent layer that also tie in
nicely with a large number of frameworks, and at the same time is
simple enough that you can trivially write an application without a
framework if you prefer. The code I run my site and my blog on at
http://www.hokstad.com/ is built using only Rack and no framework,
combined with various self contained libraries, for example so it's
absolutely doable.
