  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • Http Client

    'httpclient' gives something like the functionality of libwww-perl (LWP) in Ruby.

    I think an implementation similar to this is built-in transparently to the oft-ignored ruby httpclient

  • net-http-persistent

    Thread-safe persistent connections with Net::HTTP

    A quick glance at persistent.rb shows keep-alive support and a configurable pool size. The initial implementation in 3.x had a couple of memory leak issues but in practice I've not seen them on recent versions. Where is this claim based on?
