I’ve recently pushed up some updates to [Cable.cr](https://github.com/cable-cr/cable) that now allow for creating different backends. Previously you were locked in to a single version of Redis, but since we’ve started using LavinMQ at work, we decided it would be kind of neat if Cable also supported it. We now have the [cable-amqp](https://github.com/cable-cr/cable-amqp) shard. At the moment it doesn’t work at all lol. If anyone else is using cable and would like to help flesh out this shard, that would be awesome! I’ll be slowly working through it, but I’d love some eyes from others that are more familiar with how AMQP works. ---
