Thing is though, it says that a Dyno is a Ubuntu virtual machine. In what sort of horrendous configuration can an ENTIRE VM serve only a SINGLE REQUEST AT A TIME?!
That is utter madness, and the validity of the argument depends on whether it's the Heroku or this dude's fault that the VM is serving only a single request at a time (and it taking >1sec to handle a request).
- vemv 14y agoNot Heroku's fault in this case, Rails (and any other single-threaded environment) can handle a single request at a time.
- joesb 14y agoBut one VM can host multiple Rails instances, each on different port. That's what Passenger or Unicorn do, acting as proxy of group of locally spawn Rails instances.
