Ram talks with the computer with the help of a memory controller on the CPU. So the reason why its often suggested to prefer to have multiple RAM modules rather than a single one is due to memory channels. If the memory controller within the CPU supports multi-channel architecture then it can leverage it having multiple RAMs than having a single one as it helps in faster data exchange. Like if it’s dual channel then a pair, quad channel then four modules, etc.

Rails has an ActiveSupport::Notifications module which is a part of its core instrumentation API. This API allows users to define hooks on events. With the ActiveSupport::Notifications you can instrument an event by simply calling instrument with a name, payload and a block. The notification will be sent after the block returns. Now all you need is to define subscribe method which consumes the event based on event name and you can define your on callback code here, sort of like a Pub/sub pattern.
