You probably could create an application running Ruby and JRuby, but you'd be looking at making a custom buildpack in order to do this.
An alternative would be to use two apps, and hook them both into the same queue - having one app putting items into the queue, and the other just working the queue (having no web process). You can share a database between applications easily: http://neilmiddleton.com/sharing-databases-between-heroku-applications/ You wouldn't even need to modify your code. Deploy the same app twice, one with the Ruby buildpack, and one JRuby, and scale the processes to suit. -- Neil On Saturday, 15 December 2012 at 23:39, Brian wrote: > Hello! > > I've got a Rails site up now that let's people create PDF's.
