Real-life usage story of AnyCable told by its owners to Vladimir Dementyev. The platform manages and monitors equestrian shows, with heavy WebSocket use for textual real-time translation of what happens during shows (high weekend load, thousands of connections). On Heroku, Action Cable required more than 21 2×-dynos (1 GB RAM each) and still hit 'memory quota exceeded' errors due to memory growth. After a two-week migration to AnyCable, the app ran on 4 smaller dynos with headroom to spare — roughly 10× cheaper.
