At the end i decided to implement oma's solution using parallel. We
will see how it goes in the long term, but i think is a good solution
given that we are not having a lot of visits right now so having a
dyno attached for about a second is not a big problem, but i prefer a
dyno attach for 1 second that making the user wait for 5.. I guess
later i'll have to move to background jobs.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
