I built https://github.com/danielwestendorf/pdf-bot-pro https://github.com/danielwestendorf/pdf-bot-pro a few days ago, a scalable 1-click heroku deploy rewrite of pdf-bot. It's fully functional, except I built the background queuing on Faktory, and there is not working Faktory add-on available for heroku yet (and thus, no real promotion of the project yet). You could set up a faktory server elsewhere and define the URL as an ENV var and it would work today.
- dchuk 9y agoNice thanks for the link. So if I'm understanding correctly, your app essentially runs as a standalone api, receiving pdf requests, queueing them, processing them, then hitting a specific webhook url on success for other systems to then query the pdf tool to get the resulting pdf. This is approximately how I was thinking of settings thing up as well, so thanks for this!
- deedubaya 9y agoYup, exactly.
- africajam 9y agoNice, thanks for sharing! I built a simple scraper and I need to add background processing etc: https://github.com/RealEstateWebTools/property_web_scraper https://github.com/RealEstateWebTools/property_web_scraper Will dig into your code to see what I can learn.
