Thanks for chiming in, James. Hey... we're both James!

I've also looked into Elixir/Phoenix for solving this problem and I may move to that framework/language for this particular platform.

ActionCable is amazing but I've yet to see a multi-tenant platform integrate ActionCable yet. Surely I can't be the only use case on the Internet? Granted AC is brand new with Rails 5 so I'm sure as time progresses the kinks will be worked out.

My goal over the next week is to tear AC apart and figure out how to get the request passed from the connection to the channel. I'm hoping to do a PR against Rails core soon that will introduce the request into the channel, but the Rails community is picky about PRs and use cases. So we'll see :)
