Here’s the code for my lightning talk. First my drb session: irb(main):001:0> DRbObject.new_with_uri("druby://localhost:9000").write('the best!', 'green') => 1 irb(main):002:0> ~~~

The Rails controller:

require 'drb'

class BetaBriteController < ApplicationController
  def index
    if params[:q]
      Thread.new(params[:q], params[:c]) { |q,c|
        obj = DRbObject.new_with_uri("druby://localhost:9000")
        obj.write(q, c || 'red')
      }
    end
  end
end
