What is the role of Orbited in conjunction with the STOMP server for the implementation of COMET?

Question

ruby

Task: organize event notification for user GUIs by subscribing to the COMET mailing list.
JavaScript is used on the user side.
The server side uses Ruby and gem stomp.
Between the server and the client there is an Orbited intermediary, which in turn is connected to RabbitMQ.
Server-side Ruby sends messages directly to RabbitMQ.
It turns out a working link (from the server to the GUI):
Ruby[gem stomp] -> RabbitMQ -> Orbited -> GUI[JavaScript]
What is the role of Orbited in this link?
