Triglav http://github.com/kentaro/triglav By the way, I’ve been working on development of a tool, named Triglav, these months. It’s kind of a server management tool.

ActionController::Live, one of the killer features of Rails 4, is suitable for Server-Sent Events. I combined it with the new Queue API and Redis. In that way, we can easily create such a realtime application using Rails. It’s very exciting!
