Production deployment question

[mayank23]

Hi!

Pardon the noob question.

Let's say I wanted to build a cluster of good job instances that are separate from my rails servers. Is there a process to do that? Or is the only way to add more rails servers and start a good job process along side them?

Thanks

Happy to help 😊 The default production execution mode is config.good_job.execution_mode = :external, which will not execute jobs in the enqueuing process (eg your webserver).

You'll then want to run one or more instances of bundle exec good_job to execute the jobs.

Ah ok great thanks!
