[LRUG] Event Bus in ruby

[Sleepyfox]

Something that might initially sound a bit weird, but suits small apps
well, is using Redis for it's dirt simple Pub/Sub support. It's
trivially easy to use Redis as a message bus (trivially easy to use
Redis, full stop), and if you're not looking for the last word in
sophistication or scale (in which case something like RabbitMQ is
probably a better bet) it does the job.

The approach is described in the following article (about Node rather
than Ruby, but you get the picture):
