Re: Running build on heroku using Integrity
i think this is something for the integrity forum, as not many people here have tried it. (and the issues we're having are not standard rails app issues).

I've tried SES and it has an extremely crippling requirement: Every email must opt-in to recieve an email from SES. If you attempt to authorize an email account, Amazon sends out a very non-descriptive, cryptic (for normal users) message that states that Amazon SES would like to send email to you.

Re: amazon simple email service + heroku
The only problem we've seen so far is not being able to use the Reply-To header because THAT email address must be verified: https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?messageID=220892 That's the typical pattern where your app always sends email (never on behalf of another user), but you set the sending user's email to the Reply-To header so the receiver can just reply normally.

Re: My (flawed?) attempt to add or subtract workers via Heroku API.
Well, lo and behold, its working -- on the Aspen stack, no less! The trick was to keep the code block in the controller or model the action was being called from. The only thing not working at this point is adding a worker when one is already running. heroku.set_workers(ENV['HEROKU_APP'], +1) sets workers to 1, rather than adding 1 to the total. heroku.set_workers(ENV['HEROKU_APP'], -1) definitely subtracts a worker, though. So I guess I'll try assigning the current number of workers to a variable, add one to that variable, and place it where the quantity goes in the set_workers command. Problem solved!

The maximum workers per account seems to be 24 (that's where the slider stops on their Resources page). The jobs being delayed won't be created faster than one every 30 seconds, so I assumed the first worker would spin up and grab the first job, then when the second job gets queued, a second worker would start, grabbing the second job, and so on. Each job would process in it's own worker, which would then get shut down when the job completes. One worker running three jobs that take a total of fifteen minutes to process should get charged the same as three workers running one job each for five minutes. If I'm mistaken, let me know.
