The production version of my app has a few dynos and a paid DB. I also have a staging server with 1 dyno and a free DB (ie free heroku app).
I've noticed that the production app is fast, rock solid, and pushing code and running rake tasks always works flawlessly (so far). However, the opposite is true for the staging app. It often hangs when I try to push new code, occasionally taking a few hours before the slug compiles. During this time if I try to push the code again, I get bounced by a pre-commit hook that says my slug is compiling. Also, it often takes 10-20 seconds to get a page to load after a period of inactivity, compared to lightning speed for the production app. My guess is that "paid" apps live in a separate cluster that gets much better attention and resources. My question is, how much do I need to pay to get my staging app out of the bottom-barrel slow cluster? Pump up to 2 or 3 dynos, or pay for the DB, or both? Any help would is appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
