Hey DJ Angst, You can also check out IronWorker <http://www.iron.io> (formerly SimpleWorker). It provides background processing / task queues as a service and delivers on demand scalability no matter how few or how many jobs you want to run. We've got users runnings thousands of jobs in parallel with no issues.
The two considerations are that IronWorker does not have access to the Heroku shared database because they don't allow outside connections, and we also run outside your Rails stack so you'll need to pass along some config and models, but we can help you with this if your use-case happens to be complex. We believe that developers should never have to worry about complex infrastructure giving you more time to build your apps. Check it out: http://www.iron.io. Disclosure: I'm one of the co-founders of IronWorker. Chad Arimura Iron.io -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
