Faraday is an HTTP client library abstraction layer that provides a common interface over many adapters (such as Net::HTTP) and embraces the concept of Rack middleware when processing the request/response cycle. You probably don't want to use Faraday directly in your project, as it will lack an actual client library to perform requests. Instead, you probably want to have a look at Awesome Faraday for a list of available adapters. The best starting point is the Faraday Website, with its...

Down is a small, reliable Ruby library for downloading files that favors correctness, streaming, and clear error handling. It follows redirects safely, supports timeouts and retries, and streams responses to disk to keep memory usage low—ideal for large downloads or server environments. The API returns file-like objects (often Tempfile) with helpful metadata such as original filename and content type, which plays nicely with file-attachment libraries and background jobs. Multiple HTTP backends are supported, letting you choose between Net::HTTP or faster/feature-rich clients while keeping a consistent interface. ...

Most web app frameworks still focus on the "page model" and server-side rendering. Pedestal lets you start simple and add that if you need it. Pedestal makes it easy to create "live" applications. Applications must respond with immediate feedback even while some back-end communication goes on. Pedestal makes it easy to deliver server-sent events and asynchronous updates. Pedestal works with a huge variety of containers and deployment options. ...
