delayed_job queue not being processed on Heroku

Question

I\'m running a Rails 3 app with delayed_job. The issue I\'ve come across is that though the app is correctly adding jobs to the queue, they are never being processed.

Answer 1

Two options for you:

These two gems watch delayed_jobs queue and automatically 'hires' background workers to process the thread:

• Option 1: https://github.com/michelson/hirefire (This is what I am using because it supports mongoid)
• Option 2: This branch of delayed_job developed by a heroku engineer has a similar autoscale feature: https://github.com/pedro/delayed_job/tree/autoscaling

Good luck
