Reason for bender:
We run Resque workers hosted on AWS using auto scaling groups. In order to ensure workers are always running we use the super awesome God gem.
Our issue is when scaling-in we need to inform the resque workers to gracefully shutdown .i.e:
- Finish the current job
- Stop polling for new jobs
- Terminate the process
While we do make use of Resque's remote shutdown - God does what God does best and restarts the process. One solution would be to implement remote pause in Resque - we required additional management of our remote nodes during termination.
