Thanks! Glad the details are helpful. There's a lot of optimizations to be made on my end, for sure. I isolate Sidekiq to a separate worker dyno (a shared Standard-2X dyno with 1GB RAM for $50/mo) and typically run just 1, but up it to 2 if I ever notice a backlog of jobs that need done. Most of the main dynos's RAM needs are for the main site outside of the forums, which is way more resource-intensive. On Heroku: I'm admittedly very terrible with devops and their UI has made it really easy to scale resources for viral shares without the pressure being on me to figure out how to scale properly (and their support has been super helpful in cases where the DB failed, certs expired, etc). Thredded itself hasn't really required much resource scaling, so Heroku's probably overkill for it unless the rest of your app needs it. :)
