My normal solution is to just rerun the script manually at a later time and the problem goes away. What I would like to start doing is rescuing the open() and retrying the open() after a delay. What would be the most idiomatic way to try opening a url say n times before giving up? Here is my crude code for trying twice:

Pretty > complex to code. > > Perhaps there would be any other ideas that I've missed? A few observations based on my own experiences of writing real-time systems. YMMV. To start with there are many architectural assumptions implicit in the scenario you've outlined that you should reconsider to see if they're justified, not least of which is that you're apparently trying to do all of this through a single server application. Even if you were doing this in C/C++ I'd view that as a huge disaster waiting to happen. The rule of thumb with any "real-time" system is to break it down into as many discrete parts as you can and to have these running as separate services so that individual bottlenecks can be identified and scaled out to separate hardware when load demands. Is it really necessary that all of these updates happen concurrently? And if not how would you prioritise the updates? Is it possible to limit the updates to just those players who are logged on and active? Or perhaps a slightly larger group of which they're a subset? Perhaps you can even partition the game world into zones where updates to an individual zone can be scheduled in isolation. Examine your query logs and figure out how much overhead you're paying for each type of query you run. It could be that for some updates you should abandon ActiveRecord and use embedded SQL where you can tailor the query to your specific requirements. You should also look at message queues for handling your updates. This will allow you to move the heavy data processing work into separate processes and make scaling much easier to get your head around. With a bit of thought you can probably turn what appears to be an atomic update process into a staged pipeline which more effectively uses the underlying computing resources at your disposal. Depending on how much control you have over your database configuration you could also look at sharding (the zone-splitting already mentioned is a simple example of this), data denormalisation, and decoupling the database behind a series of simple web services. Finally don't treat writes as immediate updates of the live data as that's a very difficult contract to fulfil. Instead consider each update a discrete 'turn'. Read the wikipedia article on Shannon-Nyquist and you'll see that with the right duty cycle you can make any digital system appear continuous :) Also, based on the architecture you've described I'm not sure EventMachine is a good approach to your problems. It's really designed for handling i/o traffic where latency is less of a consideration than the need to handle many concurrent requests in a mostly timely fashion. I hope there are some ideas in there that help. You might also find various useful bits of code in the presentations linked from my signature.
