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

Using heroku console to get workers onto the jobs will only create create a temporary dyno for the job. To keep the jobs running without cli, you need to put the command into the Procfile as @Lucaksz suggested.

After deployment, you also need to scale the dyno formation, as heroku need to know how many dyno should be put onto the process type like this: heroku ps:scale worker=1
