Open Source Ruby WebSocket Servers

Notifications, chats, real-time updates, GPS trackers, collaboration tools, and other real-time features are essential for every modern app. And you should be able to build them in the comfort of your core framework: owning the data, using resources efficiently, and writing clean, maintainable code. AnyCable transforms your Rails application’s real-time performance, making it on par with Go, Elixir, and Node.js–based solutions so you can focus on implementing the business logic. Scale efficiently with AnyCable by leveraging its much lower RAM usage and better CPU utilization than Action Cable. Like with any data, being strategic when handling real-time data is super important. With AnyCable, you remain the owner: you store and access all the data directly, and you never send it to a 3rd-party. Simple and secure.

Universal Ruby library to handle WebSocket protocol. It focuses on providing abstraction layer over WebSocket API instead of providing server or client functionality. WebSocket Ruby has no external dependencies, so it can be installed from source or directly from rubygems.
