High Performance Ruby: Evented vs. Threaded
1 like1,466 views
The document discusses the differences between evented and threaded concurrency models for Ruby applications. It explains that evented concurrency handles I/O events asynchronously while threaded concurrency uses threads to perform actual work. The document recommends using an evented model with libraries like Nginx and Trinidad to serve web applications, allowing code to be written as if it were threaded for simplicity.
