Why do you need the
config/puma.rb?Hey Mike, what's your reasoning behind disconnecting and reconnecting? Thanks in advance! Thomas
@juniorz @thomasklemm You can't pass the same connection across a fork, need puma to re/connect on fork.
I don't think Puma forks at all, it uses thread. Also, the config file will run when puma reads the configuration file and not after creating a thread (or a fork).
@divoxx is right. According to Puma's README:
There's no need to use that config/puma.rb config file. And AFAIK, on Rails 4 (and maybe also on 3.2), if an
ENV['DATABASE_URL'], it won't need config/database.yml.Curious about what a Puma config file is about? Check https://github.com/puma/puma/tree/master/examples for some examples.
heroku config:add NEWRELIC_DISPATCHER=Pumawill make New Relic think ALL Heroku processes are Pumas, including workers and one-offheroku run rails c.I know Puma 2 makes this setting unnecessary, but it's still in beta so I'm on the latest 1x (1.6.3).
Does anybody know how to detect what Heroku PS type was invoked? Or some other way to tell if I'm running on a web dyno or not? I figure I can use that knowledge in an initializer to only set
ENV[NEWRELIC_DISPATCHER]=Pumafor web dynos.An alternative approach that helps increase AR's connection pool size on Heroku has been published in the Heroku dev center.
config.threadsafe! is deprecated for rails 4:
"Rails applications behave by default as thread safe in production as long as config.cache_classes and config.eager_load are set to true."
ActiveRecord::Base.verify_active_connections!is also deprecated, and should be removed.yeah you don't need a puma.rb file. That was vestigial from when I was on unicorn, and I thought had read somewhere that puma needed it to be able to restart cleanly
here's the relevant info for the new cool way to do it https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/concurrency-and-database-connections#connection-pool
