Async Ruby

1. async-websocket

   1 1 184 7.9 Ruby

   Asynchronous WebSocket client and server, supporting HTTP/1 and HTTP/2 for Ruby.

   

   Async has async-websocket gem. I don't have experience with it so can't tell how it compares to ActionCable.

3. falcon

   2 9 2,793 8.6 Ruby

   A high-performance web server for Ruby, supporting HTTP/1, HTTP/2 and TLS. (by socketry)

   

   This is all new to me as well, but the project mentioned the Falcon web server(https://github.com/socketry/falcon).

   The documentation for Falcon mentions using it with rails: https://socketry.github.io/falcon/guides/rails-integration/i...

   I imagine something more "native" to rails will happen eventually though. But would need to be after this makes its way into core ruby(which has not happened yet apparently).

4. AnyCable

   3 13 2,121 8.9 Go

   Realtime server for reliable two-way communication to power-up any backend

   

   I think what's being talked about here is the back end implementation for ActionCable. By default it uses ruby threads to push over open web sockets. There's at least one production quality drop in implementation (https://anycable.io/) that address the default scalability issues you'll have with ActionCable. The async support would seem to allow one to go much further with default rails before needing to move to something more performant.
