You can exceed that 1k connections threshold if you are using
EventMachine on a system that supports epoll (Linux) or kqueue.

EM performance is quite good.  Whether the rest of your app would be
fast or not depends on how you write the code, probably.  As for what
you should use....use what you are comfortable with.  Ruby may or may
not be a good choice.  If you are unsure, try to prototype what you
need, and see how well it works, and how you like it.
