Actioncable - like in Rails, but for Elixir
Hi,
I just published an equivalent of actioncable (same as Rails) in elixir, this is a first version but it works. Here it is : GitHub - cedricPoncot/actioncable: Actioncable implementation (server-side) like in Rails, but in Elixir. · GitHub

I am curious why You don’t use Phoenix channels instead.
The use of Redis might be required for Rails, but maybe it’s less useful in Elixir

It’s the point 
, if you switch your server from Rails to Elixir, you don’t have to change existing JS code on client.

Hi ,
I’ve tried with Phoenix Channels first.
The problem is : to be compatible with action cable protocol, specially during 101 Switching protocol Phoenix Channel wasn’t offering enough flexibility. That’s why i use something more low level : Cowboy websocket handler.
For Redis, you’re absolutely right, this is not necessary. It was just easier to implement with 
(The purpose of redis in this package is only to store list of pid corresponding to a channel)
