The Why and How of celluloid-io-pg-listener

LISTEN for Postgresql NOTIFY messages; Asynchronously process payloads celluloid-io-pg-listener (on github) Why? At Trumaker & Co we had a distributed data problem. Two data stores that needed to be kept synchronized, in real time, with inserts and updates allowed on both sides. There wasn’t a good solution available for that, so I did a lot of research and built celluloid-io-pg-listener to solve the problem. How? The data stores are both PostgreSQL databases living in different namespaces (i.

Introducing each_in_batches

Performance Measured and Tuned Batch Processing of Records with Blocks in Rails. EachInBatches (Originally BolingForBatches) NOTE: I am resurrecting this code because I still have this recurring need, and Rail’s native batching doesn’t cut mustard. It is some of my most ancient code, and it isn’t pretty, but I hope to improve it over time. I often need to execute really large computations on really large data sets. I usually end up writing a rake task to do it, which calls methods in my models.
