Publishing my second Ruby gem here with the community, introducing Rocketman!
Description
Rocketman is a gem that introduces Pub-Sub mechanism within Ruby code.
As with all Pub-Sub mechanism, this greatly decouples your upstream producer and downstream consumer, allowing for scalability, and easier refactor when you decide to move Pub-Sub to a separate service.
Rocketman also works without Rails.
