Hi Tom The worker dyno is *not* included in the $55, and there's no way to use delta indices with the Wooden plan.
I realise that means there's a *significant* jump in cost if you want to use deltas - I spent a lot of time working through the numbers to make sure the servers would be powerful enough at each level and the plans reasonably priced when I first got Flying Sphinx off the ground, but I just couldn't find a way to have the resources required for delta indexing at such a low price point. An alternative, though, is to switch to real-time indices. They can be used with any plan level, the extra overhead from a Flying Sphinx perspective is minimal, and they *don't* require a worker dyno. The one catch is that Flying Sphinx does not back up real-time data, as backups are tied to processing of indices, and that doesn't apply with real-time indices. I do plan to fix this situation, it's just a bit complex, but I'll hopefully get to it soon. That said, crashes are reasonably infrequent (*touch wood*) on the Wooden plans, and almost non-existent on the higher plans. ... here's hoping I've not pushed my luck too far with the server gods... To recap: deltas with a Wooden plan is sadly not possible (as much as I wish it could be) but real-time indices are definitely worth looking into. Any further questions, do let me know.
