So you'll need a middle layer no matter what (unless you go with like... CouchDB or something), but can I recommend you use something lighter weight than Rails?
Consider using something lighter weight, like Sinatra that you can task with just providing a RESTful API to the backend. Unless you're wanting to sometimes render pages (which you can do with sinatra) to send to slow clients, I really don't see much of a use case for the full weight of rails.
Rails is too heavy, especially when you're using a front-end framework
