Quick Multiple calls to Firebase crashes Rails - ruby-on-rails-4

Question

My controller pushes data to firebase on certain clicks.
class FirebaseController < ApplicationController
Firebase.base_uri = "https://firebaseProject.Firebaseio.com/"
def call_to_firebase
Firebase.push("firebase_channel", "firebase_data".to_json)
respond_to do |format|
format.json { render nothing: true, :status => 204 }
end
end
end
In case of quick successive calls to this controller, which is called on a click, my Puma server crashes immediately.
I am using Rails 4.0.0
Puma 2.6.0
Ruby 2.0.0
Below is a part of the huge log report generated.

Abort trap: 6
By quick I mean one click per second. This doesnt happen for slower clicks like 1 click per 2 seconds.
Pushing to firebase from the irb in a loop doesn't cause this error.
Thanks in Advance,
Cheers!

Answer 1

Are you using firebase-ruby gem? I submitted a bug fix for this issue today. You can hot patch it yourself by overriding the problematic method in the gem like so:
module Firebase
class Request
def process(method, path, body=nil, query_options={})
request = Typhoeus::Request.new(build_url(path),
:body => body,
:method => method,
:params => query_options)
response = request.run
Firebase::Response.new(response)
end
end
end
Or wait for the pull request to be accepted. The problem was in the gem's use of Typheous' Hydra.
