Building realtime applications with Rails has become a no-brainer since Action Cable came around. With Hotwire, we don’t even need to leave the comfort zone of HTML and controllers to introduce live updates to a Rails app. Realtime-ification in every house!

Let me dig into these problems and demonstrate how to resolve them for Action Cable and Hotwire.
