How to make Rails launch the main page without user interaction?

Question

Ruby on Rails

It is necessary to implement the launch of the main page of the application every hour without the participation of the visitor (automatically). To create a cached version. With the help of the whenever gem, is this possible (it was only possible to delete the file on schedule)?

Answer 1

Speaking in the context of whenever, then you can do something like this.

every 1.hours do
  command "curl http://site.com"
end

Answer 2

Cached results should be updated for all users, not deleted by checking against the last update time of each one individually. Periodically, say, once a minute, update the results in Memcached / Redis.
