Flecks

Render IO-bound content asynchronously and stream it into a wrap-around shell in a single HTTP response with Phlex.

See video demo.

Recommendations

Although Flecks also supports concurrent promises, threads and async ActiveRecord relations, we recommend using async tasks, since Fibers are much more lightweight and efficient than Threads.

We also recommend using the Falcon web server which uses multiple fibers to handle requests concurrently.
