Hey guys, I have a program that uses ajax to send a post to multiple social networks via their APIs based on user form input. I was wondering if this process (which doesn’t take more than 2-3 seconds when I test it myself) is worth daemonizing with something like BackgroundRB? In other words, were this program to become used by 100+ people, would the simple call to an action via AJAX slow the entire application down?

Yeah I’d recommend using DelayedJob to accomplish this task. You want to avoid unnecessary HTTP requests to your app. With DelayedJob, it connects to your database and makes third party connections without initiating any HTTP requests to your app.
I wouldn’t recommend BackgroundRB.
