Action Cable

Action Cable seamlessly integrates WebSockets with the rest of your Rails application.

It allows for real-time features to be written in Ruby in the same style and form as the rest of your Rails application, while still being performant and scalable.

It's a full-stack offering that provides both a client-side JavaScript framework and a server-side Ruby framework.

You have access to your entire domain model written with Active Record or your ORM of choice.
