Running delayed_job worker on Heroku?

Question

So right now I have an implementation of delayed_job that works perfectly on my local development environment. In order to start the worker on my machine, I just run rake

Answer 1

I recommend the workless gem to run delayed jobs on heroku. I use this now - it works perfectly for me, zero hassle and at zero cost.

I have also used hirefireapp which gives a much finer degree of control on scaling workers. This costs, but costs less than a single heroku worker (over a month). I don't use this now, but have used it, and it worked very well.
