Why would Heroku let you be an add-on provider in order to under-cut their pricing model? Makes no sense.

- meskyanichi 15y agoWell, let me point out that there already is an add-on called SimpleWorker which provides external worker hosting. Basically what it comes down it is that you host your workers there, and not on Heroku. Same thing. Why you ask? I have no clue! :)

The fact is that Heroku have always been open this sort of scaling (and there's a fork of delayed_job which does autoscaling of workers on Heroku and... it's written by a Heroku employee. It's regularly mentioned on the mailing list too. https://github.com/pedro/delayed_job/tree/autoscaling https://github.com/pedro/delayed_job/tree/autoscaling
