The space is for the request. A delayed job will run as a seperate process, so no, you can't count on it being there. Chances are high that the delayed job will run on a different machine, and not have access to the file. Note that for small files, you can have the dyno upload to s3 as part of the process. Paperclip supports this out of the box. I have sites myself working this way. > > 2) Does uploading a file completely lock a dyno? Or can a single dyno > handle a few simultaneous uploads? A dyno is by definition one simultaneous request. That dyno is locked for the duration of the upload. Oren -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
