This talk introduces AnyCable, and demonstrates how it can help to solve Action Cable performance bottlenecks and bring cables to beyond-Rails world

Action Cable is one of the most attractive features in Rails 5 allowing us to build real-time applications with ease. That simplicity comes at a price:

First of all, Action Cable performance leaves much to be desired, especially for high-load applications.

Secondly, it’s Rails-only. And Ruby is not only Rails, isn’t it?

The project I’m working on, AnyCable, aims to solve the performance bottlenecks as long as bring cables to beyond-Rails world.

Building realtime features at scale is easy with the dedicated realtime server, AnyCable. It runs next to your main app (or, in our cloud) and handles realtime load, while ensuring the deliverability of messages and reliability of connections. Use powerful high-level abstractions to build chats, collaboration, IoT data features, gen-AI streaming, etc.
