check some condition

[andreydeineko]

Hello all,

not sure, if it is an issue, because I did not experience a problem yet.. But still. I wonder, if sucker_punch is a tool corresponding to my need.

I want to check if an object's attribute was changed within 24 hours after creation, and if yes - send an email notification. The problem is to set this checking not once, but periodically (say, every 15 minutes).

I have deployed my app on Heroku and know about their solutions, but currently i seek for free of charge solution.

Thank you in advance!

Removing the interest for a free solution, how would you have done it without sucker punch?

These asynchronous tasks and delayed jobs are totally new things for me, so I do not know, truly to say how it should be done. From what I've read, there is a Heroku Scheduler, which is free for adding to app, but then they charge you for every hour using it..

Any chance you can provide me with some help accomplishing this task with sucker_punch?

[brandonhilkert]

Gotcha. So the heroku scheduler allows you to run Cron-style tasks. If your job is real quick, the charges would be minimal. This is how I would do it. Sucker Punch isn't necessary in this context.

[andreydeineko]

Yea, probably the job is quick - checking if submission.created_at <= (Time.now -(24_60_60)). Ok then, thanks for instantaneous replies!

Good luck!

Having a similar need here, I need to do some web crawling periodically.

I don't use Heroku, so I am thinking of a pure SuckerPunch solution.

I think this would work:

class FooJob
  include SuckerPunch::Job

  def perform(event)
    # Do things
    FooJob.perform_in(60 * 50)
  end
end
