EventMachine is a software system designed for writing highly scalable applications for Ruby. It provides event-driven I/O using the reactor pattern. EventMachine is the most popular library for concurrent computing in the Ruby programming language.[2]

Example uses

[edit]

EventMachine has been used to build a number of different libraries and frameworks in which concurrency is a performance concern. Some examples include:[3]

  • critical networked applications
  • web servers and proxies
  • email and IM production systems
