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.[1]

Example uses

EventMachine has been used to build a number of different libraries and frameworks in which concurrency is a performance concern. Some examples include:[2]

  • critical networked applications
  • web servers and proxies
  • email and IM production systems
  • authentication/authorization processors
