Heroku, schedule new Dyno sleeptime


With the announcement of the new Dyno pricing on Heroku I had some questions about the mechanics of the new free Dyno.

I was wondering if it was possible to schedule sleep time for a Dyno. This way I could make sure that my application is down while most of my users are sleeping.


Solution

  • No, this is not possible. Your app will automatically sleep when it doesn't get any requests for 30 minutes, and will be awaken if a request comes in.
    If you have exceeded your daily quota, the app will just not be awaken.
