Is this doing both the first and second uploads in the background? Or does the user need to wait for the first upload to complete and then the second upload will happen in the background?

For this tutorial, which is pretty outdated, you are correct with your second question. You need to wait for the first upload to complete, and the second one will be pushed to the queue and happen in the background.

Hi, have you tried this solution in production? for example in heroku you can't upload files to the file system, so is there a workaround for heroku?

You can upload files to Heroku, but they are only temporarily stored and do not persist.

However, I'm not sure if this guide still works as I wrote it over 6 years ago. There are definitely better ways to handle this. I would look into carrierwave and carierwave_backgrounder for a more modern approach.

You could also look into directly uploading to S3: https://devcenter.heroku.co...
