Can't you track state in a "stateless" way ? For example having the job write it's progress in a file, so that if your app goes down, you can just re-read the file and know the state of your job?
- rcfox 7y agoRelying on the filesystem has its own drawbacks. If you scale horizontally, the local filesystem might not have the file you created because it's running on a different server. Mounting storage across multiple servers will introduce bottlenecks, and now you have to worry about the storage going down. If you're running within a Docker container, you need to make sure the file doesn't live inside the container or it won't be persisted.
