    Ranch is a pretty well optimized and battle hardened tcp acceptor. It powers the Cowboy/Phoenix server which scales to extreme level of concurrency and low latency. Cowboy uses ranch to pool and accept connections and I believe it uses {active,once}. https://github.com/ninenines/cowboy https://github.com/ninenines/ranch. - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
