Async? about vapor-apns

That could also batch the notifications into one connection to APNS to avoid the mythical IP ban for too many connections.

Another way would just be to install a service could send the notification in a separate process, however that then has cross-platform complications.

@malhal It should already only use one connection, unless you use multiple VaporAPNS instances :)

Oh right, cool then!

I was wondering if you happened to know if Vapor runs on a web server rather than using its built in basic server would that result in multiple processes and hence multiple instances? Thanks

[matthijs2704]

@malhal It only creates multiple instances if you initiate VaporAPNS inside of the request handler. When you create the VaporAPNS instance in the main.swift (so on server startup) you can use it anywhere in the response but it reuses that same connection
