• wisper

  6 3,233 1.5 Ruby

  A micro library providing Ruby objects with Publish-Subscribe capabilities

We follow the interactor pattern to store our business logic. So we mainly have skinny controllers, skinny models and then interactors. We also don't use ActiveRecord callbacks very much, we primarily use Wisper to broadcast events and then various domains can subscribe to the events they care about and respond accordingly.

• Interactor

  16 3,320 0.0 Ruby

  Interactor provides a common interface for performing complex user interactions.

  

We don't do too many things The Rails Way™ anymore. We tend to use the Interactor pattern using the aptly named gem. We use Wisper to broadcast events instead of using AR callbacks. We use Pusher for websockets because we broadcast millions of events per day and ActionCable just can't keep up.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• graphql-batch

  3 1,407 6.2 Ruby

  A query batching executor for the graphql gem

  

This is mainly addressed in the last thing but we cache pretty heavily on our REST APIs and for GraphQL we use the graphql-batch gem pretty heavily. Those two things can go a long way. Make sure you're using an APM like Scout to keep an eye on things and then debug the outliers.
