Hello everybody,

how well do WAI, Yesod and the 'persistent' package play with concurrency?  For example, I'd like to write a program, which concurrently provides two related sites as well as a few background workers, which do something with the database.  My idea would look something like this:

 main :: IO ()  main =    withMyAppPool $ \pool -> do      forkIO $ worker1 ...   -- background worker      forkIO $ worker2 ...   -- background worker      forkIO $ worker3 ...   -- background worker      forkIO $ toWaiApp ...  -- site 1      forkIO $ toWaiApp ...  -- site 2

Will I run into problems with this?

There should not be any issues, just make sure you compile with -threaded. The persistent database connection pool should work just fine for this. If you find any issues, please let me know, but I have not had trouble in the past.

Thank you for your quick reply. How are my chances to get patches to Yesod incorporated into the mainstream code? Greets, Ertugrul -- nightmare = unsafePerformIO (getWrongWife >>= sex) http://ertes.de/
