Realtime web applications with streaming REST
by Brad Gessler
As more people collaborate on the web with your applications, its not enough to just persist data to the database; it needs to be pushed out to your users web browsers so that they're always working with the freshest data.
In this session, Brad will show how to build a real-time layer on top of an existing Rails application's authorization and resource logic so that you can build on top of the hard work already invested in your Rails application.
Topics that will be discussed include:
- Why I didn't choose Socket.IO
- Stream application resources into Backbone.js models to keep data fresh
- Hook into ActiveRecord to push representations of data into a message queue
- Message queue naming conventions public/private resource streams
- Exposing message queues to HTTP
- Securing streams with existing application authorization logic
- Considerations for streaming in a production environment

Chanko - How Cookpad safely releases multiple feature prototypes for test segments of their 15 million engaged users
by Kenta Murata
Chanko provides a simple framework for rapidly and safely prototyping new features in your production Rails app, and exposing these prototypes to specified segments of your user base.
With Chanko, you can release many concurrent features and independently manage which users see them. If there are errors with any chanko, it will be automatially removed, without impacting your site.
Chanko was extracted from Cookpad.com where the team uses it daily to test new features live, in production, on the largest Rails site in Japan which serves 500 million page views a month to a user based of over 15 million highly engaged uses.
