Description
Rainbows!
Rainbows! is a cool Ruby-based HTTP server built especially for sleepy Rack applications. It’s like Unicorn but made to handle those times when requests take a while or when you're dealing with slow clients. So if your app often has long wait times, this might be the perfect fit for you!
When to Use Rainbows!
If you’re thinking about using this software, it’s great for:
- Working with 3rd-party APIs that connect to services outside your control or local area network (LAN)
- OpenID consumers connecting to providers beyond your control or LAN
- Setting up reverse proxies that need editing or censoring for upstreams outside your control or LAN
- Handling Comet connections
- BOSH setups (especially with slow clients)
- HTTP server push functionalities
- Long polling scenarios
- Reverse Ajax tasks
The Rev Concurrency Model
You can also use Rainbows! even if your application runs fast but needs to service slow clients. It does this by employing the Rev concurrency model, which is pretty neat.
A Simpler Alternative: Unicorn
If you’re working on Rack applications that don’t have heavy dependencies on slow external networks, You might want to check out Unicorn instead. It's simpler and easier to debug, making it a solid choice too!
