I have an application that has a little db updating in the foreground (mostly user configuration), and a great deal of db updating in the background (scraping information off the web for 12 hours per day). I'm starting to see the performance of the foreground web requests be affected by the background processing, so I think it's time to setup a Master-Follower configuration so that the foreground "Select"s would go against the slave while the background heavy-lifting takes place against the master (up-to-the-minute synchronization with the followers is not an issue). I've looked at Octopus, DBCharner, Masochism, and Makara, but they all seem to have one or another issue. I'm hoping to require very few changes to my program (in other words, a gem that automatically separates read and writes like Makara), support Rails 3.1.9, and be compatible with Heroku (of course). It seems like most of these packages require configuration in the database.yml file, which I think means they can't be used with Heroku.
Is anyone out there doing something like this on Heroku? What gem are you using, and are you happy with it? -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
