You could try to add unicorn to your application.

preload_app true

before_fork do |server, worker|

Answer 2

Not really. The Heroku timeout is a set in stone thing that you need to work around. Direct upload to S3 is the only option, with some sort of post-upload processing required.

There are solutions out there such as CarrierWaveDirect, but I don't know how easy this would be to use with Refinery.
