Hello, I was glad to hear about the Heroku scheduler in the monthly Heroku newsletter, but I have some questions. In the FAQ it somewhat ominously says: "Scheduled jobs are meant to execute short running tasks or enqueue longer running tasks into a background job queue such as Delayed Job. Anything that takes longer than a couple of minutes to complete should use a worker process to run."
Why is it that it's meant specifically for short running jobs? Is it that the scheduler uses one of your dyno's instead of spinning off another process, meaning that when it's running your dyno will serve web pages slower? Is this enforced, is there a timeout somewhere? What about a memory cap? Thanks, Thariq -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
