MetaPinger

MetaPinger is a Heroku app that pings Heroku apps (including itself) at 10-minute intervals to keep the service's free servers from idling.

Visit the live app and keep your passion projects forever humming.

Why?

Because idle servers can embarrass you when you're trying to show off your student apps in front of potential employers, and you don't want to be embarrassed in front of potential employers.

Technologies Used

  • Ruby 2.0.0
  • Rails 3.2.14
  • Rake
  • Heroku Scheduler

meta_pinger's Issues

Rails Magic Baffles Me

What user story am I working on?

What error am I getting?

What have I already attempted in trying to fix the error?

similar app and paying advice

hi, i made webpage that does exactly the same http://wakemydyno.com :)

There is one thing you should be aware of, if your site pings itself and additionally runs background jobs as a scheduler, you will cross free minutes limit (because you run 2 dynos: web, worker) and you ll have to pay $$. i faced same problem and solved it in quite nice way: i run scheduler as a thread on web dyno.

wakemydyno is opensourced so please check it out, particularly config/unicorn.rb (https://github.com/kubenstein/wakemydyno.com/blob/master/config/unicorn.rb#L11)

also i allow myself to do some micro adv and if you have rails app you can use my dynopoker gem which pings app but from inside the app, no external tools are required :)
