If you're using Rack (which you probably are) I just found out there's a function you can call in config.ru (it's technically an instance method of Rack::Builder) that lets you run a block of code after the server has been started. It's called warmup, and here's the documented usage example:

warmup do |app|
  client = Rack::MockRequest.new(app)
  client.get('/')
end

use SomeMiddleware
run MyApp
