Hi all, I'm trying to figure out to run some asynchronous tasks in a Facebook app. I've got things working, but BRB crashes after a little while, and I'm not sure if my setup is ideal.
Here's the scenario: - whenever a user visits my app, I need to fire off a bunch of API calls. - these calls need to start right away, because the user sees a 'loading' screen until they return. - the job is not calculation or memory-intensive on my end, but it does take 15-20 seconds to get all the responses from Facebook. I'm on a fairly small server, so it's important to keep memory use low (and stability high), while still being able to handle thousands of simultaneous visitors. Right now I'm using a single worker, and each visitor generates a new thread in the thread pool. After a little while tasks only get a few calls in before failing with a "Connection reset by peer" error. Eventually my worker just disappears altogether. What's going on? What kind of setup should I be running? Thanks a lot for a great plugin... Robert
