With support for Node.js, Java, Scala and other multi-threaded languages, Heroku allows you to take full advantage of concurrent request processing and get more performance out of each dyno. Ruby should be no exception.
If you are running Ruby on Rails with Thin, or another single-threaded server, you may be seeing bottlenecks in your application. These servers only process one request at a time and can cause unnecessary queuing. Instead, you can improve performance by choosing a concurrent …

And I'm finally bringing my back my time management series, which I only put on sale for a single weekend when I first released it. (It made me over $ 5,000 that weekend.) The first three videos are free, but the price for the fourth, longest, and most detailed : $ 97 $ 41

In a world of evolving languages, frameworks and development patterns, we developers must continually improve our craft. Innovative developers already have jumped on board many of these shifts. We've seen this with the adoption of more agile frameworks (such as Rails, Django, and Play). We've seen it too with a shift towards asynchronous programming patterns such as in Node.js and with evented programming in Rails.
One clear example of this evolution is the re-emergence of a focus on concurrency.

For example if you were using Node.js you could do:
if ( ! fs. existsSync ( "conf/settings.json" ) ) {
console. error ( " Config file [conf/settings.json] missing!" ) ;
console. error ( "Did you forget to run `make decrypt_conf`?" ) ;
process. exit ( 1 ) ;
}
Also, you may want to consider having a check to see if the decrypted file is out of date (which can happen if some changes were made in the source control, then were checked out, but you didn't …
…very few responses to it showed any sign of rational analysis whatsoever. Likewise, this hostility to Node.js passes, in both the instance of Mr. Arcieri's blog post, and Mr. Grimm's, into the realm of unreason , by means of faulty logic and irrelevant tangents .
In the instance of my misbehavior, it's easy to see how emotion got in the way of precise reading and rational interpretation. But in the case of Node.js, I find it harder to understand, and I find it impossible …

…previous post there is potential for severe problems to occur in an asynchronous environment like Node.js.
The problem that I was having was rather severe and, unfortunately, required a complete rewrite of the module. The original i18n-node module stored the locale information in a closure. Calling setLocale changed the locale but did so for every instance that was currently active, resulting in templates being rendered in the wrong language.
Here is the issue that is especially surprising …

Node.js has EventEmitters , which are similar to AS::Notifications, and they lend themselves quite nicely for this purpose.
I've dabbled with this for riak-js , the Node.js library for Riak. There's an example that shows how to register and collect the metrics from the events emitted. The library itself just emits the events at the right spot, adds some timestamps so that event listeners can reconstruct the trail of a request.
It worked out pretty …
