High Concurrent Ruby Web Development Without Fear
summary
Framework prototype turns synchronous Ruby web stacks into nonblocking servers by converting drivers like Redis and Sequel at runtime using fibers and heavy meta-programming, avoiding rewriting C drivers. Lightweight middleware flattens stacks to cut fiber memory pressure. Benchmarks show about 2–3k req/s single core for the example app, WebSocket roughly 2x faster than ActionCable, and an 8‑core cluster reaching ~60–70k req/s; roadmap targets HTTP/2 and ActiveRecord support.
