One of the most common features to be added to Rails apps is the ability to handle file uploads. A lot of developers are also storing these uploads on Amazon’s S3 service due to its low maintenance, cost and ease of mind. Plugins like Attachment Fu and Paperclip make this dead simple.
But there is a problem with this. When a user uploads a file, the attachment is sent along with the request, the server receives the request and does whatever it needs to do, and then the attachment is uploaded from the server to S3. All the while the user is still waiting on a response and your mongrel or passenger instance is blocked from taking any other requests. This isn’t a very good user experience especially if your handling large uploads, and even worse, if S3 fails to respond or drops the connection the user will have to re-upload their file regardless of wether or not it is already on your server.
