As far as I am aware, MicroPlace is the first SEC-registered online brokerage implemented in Ruby on Rails. We had to go through an extensive security audit, and there were a lot of regulatory requirements for us to meet. Luckily for us, eBay has a lot of experience with building financial systems and is used to dealing with those kinds of requirements. But the bottom line is that we didn’t have any significant problems with either Ruby or Rails in passing those hurdles.
