Ruby on Rails push notifications

Question

Is there any gem, anything I can use to push notifications from server to the web application in a Rails App?

This means not having to call an ajax request from time to time.

:: UPDATE :: Forgot to mention one important requirement which is that I'm using Rails 3.2

Sorry for the lack of info, but I'm using Rails 3.2. I'll update my question — tostasqb

More or less. Websockets and streaming are still somehow confusing for me. Streaming seems to be changed quite a lot in version 4 of rails, for better. I have to spend some time on it. As this is not a priority task for me now I'm re-evaluating this in a couple of weeks, for the time being I would like to gather some choices to consider by then. — tostasqb

You can easily do this with Faye gem in rails. There is a great railscast on this. Faye

You can use websockets for ruby to establish the client-server communication. For example use the websocket gem for it.

Also, you can read this topic.
