Soba

Soba is an experimental rack server, which build upon green thread.

Green thread can easily achieve high concurrent(especially for IO-heavy app), and save the costs of native threads.

Soba use LightIO to provision green threads.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'soba'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install soba

Usage

This is a example of soba with rack, put these content into config.ru, then run rackup to start soba.

Notice:

  1. Even in rails, soba should be started through rackup, so we can apply monkey patch before other code loaded.
  2. In config.ru, the commented first line is rackup arguments.
#\ -s soba -O Port=3000

# apply green threads monkey patch before application load
require 'soba/monkey'
Soba::Monkey.patch!

use Rack::Reloader, 0
use Rack::ContentLength

app = proc do |env|
  [ 200, {'Content-Type' => 'text/plain'}, ["你好，世界"] ]
end

run app
