SUMMARY:Art of the Ruby Proxy for Scale, Performance, and Monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Ilya Grigorik (igvita.com). A high-performance 
 proxy server is less than a hundred lines of Ruby code and it is an indi

  functionality of existing applications, and real-time traffic analysis 
 and performance monitoring. We'll implement each example using Ruby Even
 tMachine framework.
