Rails Sever Crash

Rails
1

Hi,

My rails app exposes REST SERVICES, when the server is down for any
reason,
server upgrade or a unexpected crash.
The REST requests coming from the clients should be logged/captured so
that we can insert the data in the database after the server is running.

Any idea?

If the app is not running, what do you propose will listen for the
REST requests and log them?

You’ll need some type of app that runs when your rails app is down.

Hi,

I really don’t understand what you need. If your Rails app can’t respond
it
is because there’s some problem in your server (apache, db, etc). It’s
much
better if you use a VIP in front of your infra and him will distribute
the
request. If anyone down, other take your place.

Just answer your question, you can create an healthcheck url. Then,
another
app (REST app) listen this and when your RAILS App come down, it make
something (start a job; change a DNS, etc)
