Our guest is Vlad!1:30 – Guest: My name is Vladimir, but people call me Vlad. I have been writing Ruby since 2013 for about 4.5 years. Before that I was a PHP, JavaScript developer among other languages. I am mostly Erlang and Ruby now.2:29 – Panel asks Vlad a question. 3:29 – Guest: Yeah something like that. I call it a different server b/c we still use the code base but we do not do anything related to web sockets and connections.4:20 – Panel: If you wanted to take a normal action cables setup what steps would you have to go through to convert that over to also use the anycable server?5:21 – Guest answers the question.  7:31 – Chuck: This sounds complicated and a bit of work. When I look at this I think: I have a tiny app is it worth it? When does it become worth it?7:52 – Guest: Definitely not for the tiny app.8:50 – Panel: You use it when it makes sense. Overcomplicating your infrastructure doesn’t make sense.9:27 – Guest: That’s the idea.10:28 – Panel.11:05 – Guest: The question really is how many connections you have and how long-lived they are?13:09 – Panel: If I move my project over to anycable how much new code am I going to have to write?13:28 – Guest answers the question. 15:52 – Panel: What’s the update been like for anycable and how many users use anycable? 16:05 – Guest: I really don’t have statistics.

Is there any difference with anycable in that sense?19:05 – Guest answers the question. 22:49 – Chuck: Can you define a couple of terms for me? I am hearing terms like: concurrency and real time and others?23:00 – Guest: Good point. What is real time?The guest continues to define these terms.28:10 – Fresh Books! 29:10 – Chuck: Ruby 3 is supposed to solve some of these problems. Can you talk about some of those?29:46 – Guest: Interesting question and I’ve been asked about this before.35:14 – Panel: Did you say there was some activity around trying to reduce the memory consumption for thread?35:25 – Guest answers the question. 36:14 – Panel: Vlad, you are spread from backend to fronted and you’ve mentioned Phoenix Live Vue.
