A second production environment

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m attempting to create a second production environment, because I have
multiple databases to maintain, and production is much faster. So now I
have 2 ‘production style’ environments, called ‘production’ and
‘apiloc_production’

To create the apiloc_production environment, I added a new entry in
database.yml:

apiloc_production:
adapter: postgresql
database: apiloc
timeout: 5000

I also created an apiloc_production.rb file in config/environments by
simply copying production.rb (attached). There is no difference between
these files.

I expected that ‘production’ and ‘apiloc_production’ environments would
behave in the same way, with the exception that different databases
would be accessed. However, this is not the case. apiloc_production is
much slower (~10x) than production, and apiloc_production logs SQL
queries to its log file, whereas production doesn’t.

So I’m confused - how can I make apiloc_production act more like
production? Is ‘production’ environment treated differently under the
hood of rails somehow?

Thanks,
ben

First simple question:

Have you compared the log files for those two environments? Is your
second “production” environment really being treated as production?

Sounds like you’re getting all the dev class reloading and logging, just
like a non-production environment.

Thanks for the help. The apiloc_production log file is different than
the production log file, because the apiloc_production is filled with
SQL queries, whereas the production log file is empty except for the
time of it’s creation.

I wonder idly, could this be caused somehow by plugins that treat the
environments differently? I’ll have a go trying to figure that out and
get back to the list.

Any other ideas on how to fix this? Thanks,
