using console is a proper way in produciton?

Hello. I've planned to use script/console to support mainloop for my rails application. I need some infinite loop for doing my logic. For example, I want to give a point every second to users. to do this task I think I simply code like this: loop { GivePoint(); sleep 1 } on script/console and handle taks in the GivePoint method.

Can this way work fine on commercial application? In fact, script/console looks like sort of helpers to test, so it may heavy to perform business logic in real world. Am I right? Somebody advice on me.

Thanks.

You should probably do this in a background task/daemon

The best way is to put your code in a model (ex. app/model/batch.rb) or in a library class (ex. lib/batch.rb) exposing a public method (ex. def self.run) then create a service that call: script/runner -e production Batch.run

Hope it helps
