Hey guys,
I'm thinking about writing a method which utilises multithreading to do a bunch of api calls and make AR updates. Then calling the method once an hour with Rufus scheduler.
I'm a little concerned if this is safe or not, and I'm wondering if anyone has any insight? I guess the main topic is does multithreading work nicely with AR - but I'm also wondering if using rufus turns it in to a more complicated question?
Has anyone seen good articles discussing it?
Cheers,
Tim.
What we do is to write a rake task that make AR update, and add this running task into cron job, it’s easy and safe.

On earlier version of rails you need to explicitly safe that you want AR to be threadsafe (the setting is called allow_concurrency). This isn't needed from rails 2.2 is my memory is correct.
