background jobs for uploading #20

Open val-litvak opened 10 years ago

val-litvak commented 10 years ago

we will probably want to have background jobs when uploading, to improve performance, but that is for later on, we would need this more if people start uploading a lot. each slideshow upload will also upload each slide image. (right now this is not happening, because we are making a call to the google file viewer for images, which is slow)

also, in order for this to happen, we should probably move to something other than heroku, because heroku would be expensive, ($35 per instance), if we want background jobs at some point.

You can use a cronjob for this. Every minute check for any jobs and then complete them. That's free!

agreed, but it can't be done directly on heroku though :/, if we want to utilize cron jobs of any sort we would need to move to ec2, or some other web host, i was also considering linode(VPS), but i dont know.

Aren't those all pretty expensive?

yeah they are, ec2 is based on usage http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/ (do you guys have the free tier thing by any chance? we could utilize that for a while) linode is 20 bucks a month per instance, (i imagine we would not need more than one for a while)

would you happen to know any cheaper alternatives?

scroll to the bottom of the form to see plans, they seem more reasonable than ec2 i think,

I've deployed to linode before too.
