About:
AnyCable-Go is a high-performance WebSocket server implementation of the Action Cable protocol, written in Go. It enables real-time features for web applications by handling WebSocket connections efficiently, offloading them from the main Rails application. This allows for scalable real-time communication with minimal resource usage.
Key Features:
  • High-performance concurrency using Go's goroutines
  • Drop-in replacement for Ruby Action Cable server
  • Supports Redis and NATS for backend messaging
  • Low memory footprint and high throughput
Use Cases:
  • Adding real-time chat or notifications to Ruby on Rails apps
  • Scaling WebSocket connections for high-traffic applications
  • Building live dashboards and collaborative tools
Alternatives:
  • actioncable – Ruby-based reference implementation, generally less performant under high load
  • socket.io – Node.js based, requires a different client library than Action Cable protocol
