I got this from the heroku documentation Pass-through uploads
Pass-through uploading sends the file from the user to the application on Heroku which then uploads it to S3. Benefits of this approach include the ability to pre-process user-uploads before storing in S3. However, be careful that large files don’t tie up your application dynos during the upload process. Large files uploads in single-threaded, non-evented environments (such as Rails) block your application’s web dynos and can cause request timeouts<https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/request-timeout> and H11, H12 errors <https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/error-codes>. EventMachine, Node.js and JVM-based languages are less susceptible to such issues. Please be aware of this constraint and choose the right approach for your language or framework. I think that i uses thin underneath the rails application. So does that mean, rails is not suited for file upload ?
