Anyone else running a production website with Clojure in Heroku and struggling with boot time problems? After digging through our logs from the past month, I've noticed it's not uncommon to have a dyno crashed for awhile because of boot time problems. It seems especially likely when dynos are cycling once/day - I'm guessing because of additional delays in picking up latest snapshot dependencies.
Has anyone else run into this problem and has a bright idea? I have already verified we're using lein compile :all at deploy (by virtue of being on lein2), running in the production profile, and I am working on removing those snapshot dependencies. I've checked the app for obvious bottlenecks like web/DB/IO requests during initialization with no luck. We don't have a ton of code or dependencies right now, so I'm a bit skeptical that we can remain on Heroku as we grow. As a last resort, I suppose we could try a proxy bound to a Unix socket as in https://github.com/dblock/heroku-forward but I'd rather avoid that if possible. If not advice specifically in the context of pleasing Heroku, advice on troubleshooting slow app init times generally would also be welcome. I've done some minimal code benchmarking in Clojure previously, but never specifically towards resolving time-to-init.
