not much to go wrong there really.

I'll just add a little teriyaki sauce, and I'm sure my words will be 
delicious. .

Re: Is it possible to use CarrierWave on Heroku without relying on cache?

2011-05-25 Thread Mark Ellul
There is an s3 gem upload gem which allows straight from the browser to s3 
uploads...

gem 's3_swf_upload', :git = 
'git://github.com/nathancolgate/s3-swf-upload-plugin'

It uses a swf to do it though!

Re: background jobs are becoming unresponsive regularly

well...I meant to add more to my response.

Regardless of the problem Heroku resolved, the workers crash an awful lot. I
have three of them running I hardly see run for more than 30 minutes. No
useful information in the logs, and they crash with or without work to
do...meaning the queue can be empty and they fall over. As far as I know,
this is a pretty new problem and I wonder if there is an incompatibility in
the mix. Maybe a gem that's causing a problem. It's a bit tricky to pin
down.

Hmmm. Could it be that you're running out of memory and crashing
without writing to the logs?

Re: How to handle blog while using Heroku?

2011-05-25 Thread Mike P.
Thanks for your reply Alex. I actually didn't know about the cache
hits being free, so thanks for letting me know about that.

The thing is, I'd like to be able to use a blogging engine, such as
Wordpress. I guess the other simple Ruby blogs may work fine, but I'm
thinking that there may be some specific Wordpress plugins that I'd
want to use.

Anyone have any feedback on using a Ruby blog on Heroku, or using
Wordpress on another host?

Thanks again,
Mike

 If you if you set your cache headers properly, for something like a
 blog, you can easily scale up to a huge number of visitors.

 Cache hits are free and fast with Heroku's Varnish layer.

  Hi all,

  I was wondering how you all are handling your blogs while using Heroku
  as a host? Do you use something like RadiantCMS, or do you host your
  blog on a separate subdomain elsewhere (e.g.http://blog.mysite.com).

  I noticed a while back that Shopify had their main site hosted
  elsewhere, and then whenever someone clicked on their Plans and
  Pricing page, it would redirect them to their Heroku server
  (specifically, to a page likehttps://app.shopify.com/signup). I think
  this is a pretty nice solution, and would avoid me having to pay for
  scaling on blog visitors.

  On the other hand, it would be nice to be able to automatically scale
  with a burst of blog/website visitors.

  Any ideas on this? How does the single dyno hold up for website and
  blog visitors?

  Any advice on this would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you,
  Mike
