  • drb

    Distributed object system for Ruby

  • I recently had the need to build an internal testing system that distributed workloads across many workers via a client/server model. I did the proof-of-concept using druby [1] and it turned out to be so simple and stable that we just ran with it. It'd been years since I had used that library and instinctively I assumed we'd get the poc out and then rebuild it using some sort of web service and utilize a high concurrency web server but druby just worked!

  • psych

    A libyaml wrapper for Ruby (by ruby)

  • ruby

    The Ruby Programming Language

  • I love the simplicity of YAML::Store. It was introduced in Ruby 1.8, almost 20 years ago (https://github.com/ruby/ruby/commit/55f4dc4c9a5345c28d0da750...).

    I even created a little gem when I was starting with Ruby, 10 years ago, that was a very thin wrapper around it so that I could play around using an ActiveRecord like syntax (https://github.com/brunnogomes/active_yaml). I used in some pet projects so I could do stuff like:

      p = Post.new

  • active_yaml

    A simple key/value storage built on top of YAML::Store with an ActiveRecord like interface
