asynchronus or not?
if yes...
how?
redis + resque_mailer?
NO.
- no VM & swapping, good for small and not very important data.
-
requires implementation, non-OOTB:
delayed_job?
NO.
- queue in SQL - possible.............
-
requires implementation, non-OOTB:
custom RabbitMQ solution?
MAYBE...
- promising, but over complicated
why mongo?
- swapping
- journaling
- atomic
findAndModifyoperation - scalability
