in erlang.
What Gen Bunny https://github.com/mochi/gen_bunny RabbitMQ client library for simple pubsub
in erlang.
What Websocket ? https://www.websocket.org/ Bi-directional web communication mechanism.
Over Architecturing You want it. I deliver !

WHY ? WORKS WITH EXISTING PROXIES
Client JS Data is live chat stream
JS Connection wsUrl = "ws://server:8081/websocket"; websocket = new WebSocket(wsUrl);
Websocket Setup websocket = new WebSocket(wsURL); websocket.onopen = ... websocket.onmessage
= function(evt){ onMessage(e) }; websocket.onerror = ...
onMessage Handler function onMessage(e) { Msg = '<p>' + txt
+ '</p>' $('#output').prepend(Msg); };

Cowboy What comes to mind ?
Kid Rock

Pretty Lil' web server
Cowboy Routes, REST, middleware, web sockets and more.
Cowboy follows OTP principals.
Cowboy WS Required Callbacks init websocket_init websocket_handle websocket_info websocket_terminate
Cowboy WS init Upgrades from http → web socket
Cowboy WS init({tcp, http}, _Req, _Opts) → {upgrade,protocol,cowboy_websocket}.
Cowboy WS websocket_init Run on each connection.
Cowboy WS websocket_init(_Name, Req, _Opts) → Pid = consumer:start_link(), {ok,
Req, #state{pid=Pid}}.
Cowboy WS websocket_handle Recv data from client, optionally return data.
Cowboy WS websocket_handle(Data, Req, State) → {text, Msg} = Data,
{reply, {text, << "recv: ", Msg/binary >>}, Req, State};
Cowboy WS websocket_info Live Push data to client
Cowboy WS websocket_info(Data, Req, State) → {reply, {text, Data}, Req,State};
Sending to RabbitMQ RabbitMQ websocket_handle
Recv from RabbitMQ RabbitMQ websocket_info gen_bunny CONSUMER
Message Queues gen bunny
gen_bunny follows OTP principals.
callbacks Required: • handle_message • init • handle_call • handle_cast
• handle_info • terminate
callbacks handle_message Handle messages from the message subscribed message queue.
callbacks handle_message(Msg, State) → NewState = act_on_msg(Msg,State) {noreply, NewState};
