Re: TweetStream
Tons of missed tweets. If the tweets you're looking for happen to have URLs attached, then you can use Topsy, which is pretty good.

Re: Dynos & Queue Depth
the queue is the list of what is waiting.
Requests coming in - requests getting served == queue.

Re: bundle upload and animation
Saw it right on the main addon page. Also, I believe I saw it in a comment from Oren. Perhaps it was planned but unfinished. http://addons.heroku.com/bundles "A bundle is an archive (tarball) of your application code repository and a dump of the database. When you initiate a bundle capture, it's stored on Heroku's servers. From there, you can download the bundle to your local machine, keep one or unlimited on Heroku, UPLOAD bundles from your local machine and re-animate a bundle with the "heroku bundles" commands."

Dynos & Queue Depth
Hi,
I wrote a simple test app to test the queue with a dummy 1 sec action.
The app has 1 syno active.
The controller:
class VisitmeController < ApplicationController
def test
sleep 1
render :text => "#{Time.now} - Queue:
#{request.headers["HTTP_X_HEROKU_QUEUE_DEPTH"]}"
end
end
So I lunch ab against it:
ab -c 10 -t 60 http://myapp.heroku.com/visitme/test
With a concurrency of 10 I should get a queue of 10, right?
Instead, while response times are correctly about 10 secs, the queue
is always at 5 or lower value. How can that be possibile?
Regards,
Daniele

Re: Basic Production Site
There is an add-on for New Relic: http://addons.heroku.com/newrelic Basically you want to watch how long your response time is using the Apdex Scoring to determine if your site is fast enough for the traffic that you have. http://newrelic.com/features.html#ApdexScoring With the traffic that you have, more than likely you won't need but one dyno (as Oren stated).

Re: Basic Production Site
You would add dynos to increase the number of rails instances that are run concurrently, so you can scale your site.

Re: Basic Production Site
Thanks for that Terence, Just a question about your last point. How do I choose which plan? Say I went for the free plan (Blossom), how do I know if it needs upgrading - does it crash, do I get an email warning or does it just increase as needed and then I get charged? cheers, DAZ On Mar 8, 8:38 pm, Terence Lee wrote: > Answers below. > > On Mon, 2010-03-08 at 12:31 -0800, DAZ wrote: > > Hi, > > > I'm planning on launching a production site using Heroku, but have a > > few questions: > > > 1) Are sites that are hosted on Heroku backed up or do I have to do it > > manually - what is the procedure for doing this? > > You have to do it manually.

Re: Basic Production Site
Everything is fully backed for disaster recovery purposes. We don't provide user accessible backups - it's only in case something goes wrong with the systems. This includes your DB and your app. Start on a koi + 1 dyno, and see how it goes. You can scale the traffic instantly.

You have to do it manually. Heroku provides bundles which will backup both the git repo code and the database which you can download as a archive. http://docs.heroku.com/backups There are scripts about for backing this up to s3 as well. > 2) Is the database backed up as well? > 3) How does the pricing work?

You need to choose one of the plans from here: http://heroku.com/pricing with regards to your database option.

Basic Production Site
Hi, I'm planning on launching a production site using Heroku, but have a few questions: 1) Are sites that are hosted on Heroku backed up or do I have to do it manually - what is the procedure for doing this? 2) Is the database backed up as well? 3) How does the pricing work? This site has around 500 unique visitors a day, generating 4000 hits. It is a basic CMS site with a database backend. Do I need to choose what type of plan I have in advance or will I be told if any limits are being exceeded? Thanks for any help anybody can give me, DAZ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group. To post to this group, send email to her...@googlegroups.com.

Re: Dynos pricing
it's based on what you have set. Set dynos to 2 for an hour, and you'll pay $0.05. Set it to 2 for 30 minutes, and you'll pay $0.025. We don't currently auto-scale.

Re: bundle upload and animation
Hi Jason, Where are you seeing documentation about uploading a bundle? I've inquired about this before, but afaik there is no support for bundle upload. Bundle animation is using a previously captured bundle.

Dynos pricing
Hi all, from docs I read "subsequent dynos cost $0.05 per hour, prorated to the second". So I will pay dynos for effective seconds usage?
