I have quite a slow Application_Start due to having a lot of IoC stuff happen at start up.
The problem I'm trying to solve is, how do I avoid passing that start up time to the end user?
Assumptions
My apps are hosted on AppHarbor so I have no access to IIS. However even if I did, my understudying is that it's best practice to let the app pool recycle, so there's no way to avoid having the Application_Start run regularly (I think it's every 20 minutes on AppHarbor).
My idea to solve it
Initially I thought I'd hit it every minute or something, but that seems too brute force and it may not even stop a user from experiencing the slow start up.
My current solution is to handle the Application_End event, and then immediately hit the App so that it starts up again, thus hopefully not impacting any users.
Is there a better way to solve this issue?
