A dyno is a single Ruby process that can process web requests.  Number
of dynos = number of concurrent requests your app can process.  So
think of a dyno as a measure of concurrency.

A compute unit, on the other hand, is a measure of raw CPU power.
More compute units on your dedicated database means your
SQL/ActiveRecord queries will execute faster, which will increase the
throughput on a database-bound app.
