We begin working on a direct messaging feature. This episode covers all the preliminary work: adding users to the app, setting up a basic authentication flow via Rails has_secure_password, and adding an ability to show a user’s profile. For the latter one, we use Turbo Frames and Stimulus JS sprinkles.

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.
