Using for Pubsub from other languages/frameworks #15

Closed deepflame closed 8 years ago

deepflame commented 8 years ago

Hi everyone,

I was thinking of giving a lightning talk at ElixirConf EU about a Ruby gem I wrote. It enables using Phoenix Pubsub in e.g. Rails by broadcasting binary ETF messages to Redis which Phoenix then forwards. https://github.com/frontrunnerio/phoenix_pubsub_rb

It worked really well in my POC and it would enable easy integration and later migration from Rails to Phoenix.

Would you rather discourage this approach for a reason I did not think of? I am asking since I come from a Rails background not having so much exposure yet with Phoenix and I do not want to encourage people to do anything "wrong".

Would be great if you could help out here.

Thanks a lot.

Ok, I gave the lightning talk today and seemed to be an "accepted hack". Will close the issue now but comment if anything else comes up.

Thanks
