Easier non-blocking approach for a from-scratch server?
Ktor is a project that's not primarily focused on application performance but developer performance. It seems to be sth different than what you want to achieve. I don't think a lot frameworks... or any other framework writes its own low level io stuff from scratch, they mostly use https://netty.io/ because there's not too much room for improvement and it's complete, battle tested and so on. I lately came across https://github.com/hexagonkt/hexagon which seems to have a very solid code base based on modules modules modules, is kotlin first and they have an adapter for netty. The usage of the naked http server seems to be as easy as it can be https://hexagonkt.com/port_http_server/port_http_server/ and they are even listed on techempower benchmarks https://github.com/hexagonkt/hexagon/ .

Test Driving a Rails API - Part Two
While we’re at it, let's add a couple of other gems we’ll need for our test environment: factory_bot_rails is a fixtures replacement and generates test model instances. faker is handy for generating fake strings of data to be used in tests. Add those gems to the development and test group of your Gemfile:

Full-Text Search for Ruby on Rails with Litesearch
Next up, we'll combine a few of the techniques we've reviewed to implement snappy typeahead searching. Before we do that, though, let's generate more sample data. I will use the popular faker gem to do that:

Users of the Ruby programming language now have FFXIV mock data
Ah, so the data is just a giant .yml file of potential options, that I compiled, and then faker grabs a random one based on that data. There's no "database" or anything akin to that.

A proposal on how to deal with Monkey Patching
It's with the Faker library. I was able to reproduce it by spinning up a new rails up, specifying the faker gem , yours, and running the command gives the same error.

Faker Gem
To begin using faker, you need to install the gem, which is simply done by running "gem install faker". After you do that, you should add "gem "faker"" to your gem file to ensure correct usage, otherwise you may get an error. Once thats done you can head over to the seeding file and add require "faker" the page. In the seeding file is where you would start to "fake" your data and we use the faker library to pick out random dummy data. In the seeding, your gonna start implementing the data which should look like this,
