You can read about the real case scenario for the engine.

Add this line to your application’s Gemfile:

gem 'faye-redis-delayed'

When initializing a new Faye server, reference the engine and pass any required settings.

# faye config.ru
require 'faye'
require 'faye/redis_delayed'

server = Faye::RackAdapter.new(
  :mount   => '/',
  :timeout => 25,
  :engine  => {
    :type   => Faye::RedisDelayed,  # set the engine type
    :expire => 30                   # undelivered messages will expire in 30 seconds
    # …                             # other Faye::Redis engine options
  }
)

run server

Additional options provided by Faye::DelayedRedis:

• :expire — expire time in seconds, defaults to 60
• :delay_channels - Array of channels that should be delayed

:delay_channels can be specified as strings or as regular expressions. If something is given, then only channels matching one of the listed patterns will be delayed. Without this argument, every channel is delayed.

  :engine  => {
    :type           => Faye::RedisDelayed,
    :delay_channels => [/^\/queues_with_this_prefix/, "/this/one/queue"],
  }
