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. Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
