Download rate 260 KB/s

2011-01-25 Thread obruening
I have a rails app installed on Heroku. It uses the 1 dyno free plan.
I have measured the download rate with the download of a static file
(200KB) from the rails public folder. The result is 260 KB/s. Are
there better higher download rates in the paid plans?

Best regards
Oliver

I believe the charges for an additional dyno(s) are usage based so it
would be a relatively cheap experiment to add a dyno and do a test. I
could be wrong in that there may be some flat charge in going from a
free plan to a paid but I don't remember that being the case - it
would be documented somewhere on the Heroku site.

So add a dyno check the dl rates and then remove the dyno or better
yet keep it in place for a month and enjoy the immediate response vs
the delayed response of a first page hit (after an idle period of some
minutes) while the single dyno spins up. A paid plan keeps the dynos
spinning and available.

Hi Oliver,

For many static files, we are using amazon s3 / cdn
That may work for you as well.
