Persistent Connections in Ruby: Streaming Bodies, SSE, and WebSockets with Rack | DevelClan
08-Aug-2025 5
HTTP was born with a request/response model: the client opens a connection, sends a request, the server responds, and the connection closes. This works for most web pages but falls short when handling real-time data (notifications, dashboards, chats, etc.).
Rack supports several techniques to keep connections open: streaming bodies, Server-Sent Events (SSE), and WebSockets.
