Awaitility in production?

[Micah Silverman]

I have an async process. There's something that I want to do once the process is done. It's a non-critical task. Meaning, it's ok if the task doesn't get done.

I was thinking that I would use awaitility to check for up to 1 second to see if the process is done and then perform the task.

If it's not done in a second and the task is never performed - no big deal.

What do you think of using awaitility in a production setting?

The alternative, is to use a typical polling loop that iterates 10 times with a 100ms sleep in it if the process is not done.

Thanks,

Micah

While you could use Awaility for this it's probably overkill. For example if you're using Spring you could just use the @Scheduled annotation and if not you could simply create a ScheduledExecutorService yourself. That way you avoid additional dependencies to your build which is always nice. Also Awaitility will block the current thread which is most likely not what you want.
