It makes deployment so easy and quick. However, it can start to get pricey when you add additional dynos at $35 each a month. With a small amount of work, you can get a lot more out of your Heroku hosting whilst drastically improving the performance of your site. So how do we max out the performance of our Heroku apps? 1. By default a Heroku dyno is responsible for serving all the assets for your site, so every page load will involve multiple requests to the dyno.

The asset_sync gem modifies asset pre-compilation to sync all of your assets to an Amazon S3 bucket from where they are served directly and freeing up your dyno to handle more requests. If you want to speed things up even more, you can slap Amazon’s Cloudfront CDN in front of your S3 bucket with multiple subdomains. 2. To prevent this from happening you need to decouple the upload process from your dyno. 3. 4. 5. 6. DotCloud - Deployment made simple.
