I have a general question about a web service. My app will (hopefully) parse RSS (XML) so that it returns newly updated feeds.
The parsing job is not the problem. The problem is how to let the server do it efficiently. Obviously, one of the methods is the cron job. But it cannot process all if the number of the feeds is too large. Somehow the server does the job little by little. For instance, I have some experience in AppEngine which provides Task Queue that finishes the job little by little maintaining the server intact. Is there such functionality that Ruby on Rails has? so that my app can finish parsing without reaching the server limit? soichi -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
