Hi all, I'm deploying my app on heroku for tests and have noticed something odd.
I'm rails 3.2.3 and paperclip do handle the displaying/uploading images process. Everything runs smooth on my localhost but on Heroku, if I upload a picture and the App isn't "accessed" for like during the night, in the morning the image is not there and the 'broken image icon' takes its place.
If I re-add the image and keep accessing the website for like, every hour, everything is fine and all the images are there.
It's worth mentioning that I'm saving my images in paperclip's default path, in the public->assets folder. And for testing, I wanted to keep it that way.
Will this issue go away if I set the path to my app->assets folder?
Or does this have anything to do with the inner workings of Heroku, assigning one dyno and then idling after some time with no hits, and when the application "wakes up again" another dyno is assigned and the app loses its uploaded images?
Is storing in Amazon S3 the only way of solving this or does altering the path of paperclip to the App folder solves the problem? If so, will it be a reliable option for a production stage?
Thank in advance for enlightening a RoR beginner,
Regards
