Hi, I have a rails application that requires data from an API to run. Since the API is slow I am looking to have a background process run continuously and scrape the API for new messages and add it to the application database From some reading , a worker dyno seems to be the best way to achieve this. Any links on how to go about scheduling a continuous running worker process in the background and make it to talk to the Rails DB preferably using ActiveRecord.
