I'm working on an application that requires a process to send/receive SMS messages (via email for now) outside of Rails. Right now I have it working using the ActionMailer and ActiveRecord objects in my Rails application.
Is it better (quicker, more scalable) to read/write to the database and send/receive outside of the ActiveRecord and ActionMailer models I have setup in rails?

Yes, you can make more scalable solutions outside of Rails. But...
Is the current solution not working? Are you having performance issues?
If not, why bother?
