The double hijack trick, serving 65k connections from a single ruby process
# This server demo does a socket hijack in Rack and then saves the socket to a global variable
# to prevent it from being GCed when the Puma thread ends. It will then write "BEEP" to each
# socket every ten seconds to prevent the connection timing out. During testing, it easily
# handled up to 65523 connections, after which it ran into the `ulimit` for open file descriptors.
# The bit with the waiting area is there because a normal `Set` is not thread safe and it would
# drop socket due to race conditions. The `Queue` is thread safe and will make sure all sockets
# are preserved.
# run with `rackup -q -p 8000 -o 0.0.0.0 c10k.ru`
# testing: install `ab` and then run `ab -c 20000 -n 20000 <ip adress of server>:8000/

This recipe describes the classes, controllers, and jobs used by Standard Notes to build our own custom-fit Mailchimp replacement.

With the parts here, you should be able to put together your own email campaign system directly in your Rails app, removing the need to use an expensive online newsletter service.
