I rolled my own background job processor using CouchDB. Procfiles and Foreman and the Cedar process model make it very simple. I can even scale up and down using the Heroku API from inside a running Heroku web process; I think the Resque systems I saw described don't allow you to scale down to

YMMV, but I'm pretty sure Rake 0.9.2 fixes this. Another solution is to add the following to your Rakefile, right after require 'rake' class Rails::Application include Rake::DSL end (from memory; please let me know if it doesn't work and I'll look it up for you) On Jun 17, 7:01 pm, Daniel
