A presentation at Wroc_Love.rb in in Wrocław, Poland by Vladimir Dementyev

Now we have Action Cable. The problem is solved!
Not so fast. We have a great framework, but we still rely on Ruby’s performance, which leaves much to be desired when dealing with concurrency, high-loads and memory consumption.
Let’s take a look at the dark side of Action Cable, discuss its production usage and an alternative cable – AnyCable.
