Ruby on Rails frontend and server side processing in Python or Java.. HOW, What, Huh?

I am a data scientist and database veteran but a total rookie in web development and have just finished developing my first Ruby On Rails app. This app accepts data from users submitting data to my frontend webpage and returns stats on the data submitted. Some users have been submitting way too much data - its getting slow and I think I better push the data crunching to a backed python or java app, not a database. I don't even know where to start. Any ideas on how to best architect this application? The job flow is > data being submitted from the fronted app which pushes it to the > backend for my server app to process and > send back to my Ruby on Rails page. Any good tutorials that cover this? Please help!

What should I be reading up on?

Are you sure your database is well maintained and efficient (good indexes, normalised, clean etc)

Or can you not make use of messaging queues, so you keep your rails crud app, then the jobs are just added to a queue. Python scripts on the backend (or different machine) read from the queue, process then insert back into the database or add results to a results queue or whereever you want to read them from

I doesn't look like you need another app, but a different approach to how you process data. How about processing in background? There are several gems to accomplish that.
