I am in the process of readying my website for launch as an e-commerce store. One regular task I have is automatically importing products from a csv. This is very cpu intensive as many of the lists have over 500 lines and I have to handle creating variations, associating images etc. In some instances this is bogging down the server and I'm trying to figure out ways to minimize this.
One thought I had is that I could connect to the database from a server other than the main application server. This second server would have just enough of the application(models and import scripts) to manage the import. This secondary server(or computer in my office) could then do the import without killing the primary server. Are there any negative implications or gotchas when doing something like this? I guess the one thing is that the second server would need access to the image storage, but that won't be a problem once I move to Amazon for storage. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Satchmo users" group.
