postamt | ready solution for performing database reads | Application Framework library

postamt is a Ruby library typically used in Server, Application Framework, Ruby On Rails applications. postamt has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities, it has a Permissive License and it has low support. You can download it from GitHub.

Postamt is a sane, solution for performing database reads against a hot standby server with Rails 4.1 and 4.2. If you use Rails 3.2 or 4.0, use Postamt version 0.9.2. Choose per model and/or controller&action whether a read-only query should be sent to master or a hot standby. Inside a transaction reads always happen against master. Care has been taken to avoid common performance pitfalls. It's been battle tested in production at sauspiel.de. Monkey-patching is kept to an absolute minimum, the hard work happens through officially-supported Rails APIs. That's why there's so little code compared to similar gems. Postamt requires Rails 3.2+ and works with Rails 4.
