Rails - syncing - Faye, Juggernaut, Cool.io, plain old eventmachine?

I just implemented Juggernaut in one of my apps and I think it's awesome. It uses Redis for its pub/sub features and Socket. IO to maximise browser/mobile support Here's a discussion comparing it with Faye.

I don't believe Faye uses Socket. IO which is one of the reasons I chose Juggernaut. I also liked the simplicity of Juggernaut as it matched my particular use case Juggernaut uses Node.

Js for its server making it easily scalable and provides a Ruby gem that makes publishing messages onto Redis a piece of cake Here's a quick post on setting it up on Ubuntu 10.04 You could also look at Pusher which is a service that does it all for you.

We also built a raw and WebSocket server at work using EventMachine but I find that using Node. Js and JavaScript a much better match for this kind of service. – lebreeze Mar 15 at 12:24.

I've used socket.io/ in a pilot project for continuously updating web clients (like in chat application). The ruby server implementation is here: https://github. Com/markjeee/Socket.IO-rack.

It is somewhat 'raw' but works OK. It is based on Thin, Rack and EventMachine and requires redis for operation. The big advantage is the number of available protocols so even if you have an old browser it should just work.

I haven't done any benchmarks but based on ingredients it should be fast enough.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
