Baz,
You don't really need to be too concerned about backing up files that are
already stored on S3. Those files are thoroughly replicated on Amazon's
end. For an added measure of security, you could duplicate your files from
S3 to some other cloud storage service (i.e. cloudfiles), but it would
probably be more trouble and cost than it's worth.

Yeah, as long as the worker is running, you'll get charged.

In that case you would be charged for 48 hours.

All remote access to your code (git repository) is protected by the SSH
public keys of you and the collaborators explicitly listed. If you try
connecting on a machine that is not your own, you will get an error. Public
key authentication is quite secure, and a public key can not just be copied
from another machine, the private key would be needed too (which is

Hi David,
the answer is still not clear. Can you clarify it?
If I have set up "heroku workers 1" for 48 hours, but only 30 minutes
it has to do something, how I will be charged? For the 30 minutes (1
hour) or whole 48 hours?

Does Heroku guarantee the confidentiality of our source code hosted on
their servers? What measures does it take to ensure such
confidentiality? Our source code is our intellectual property
including trade secrets, the protection of which needless to say is
very important to us.
Thanks.

Hi David,
it is still not clear. If I have set up "heroku workers 1" for 48
hours, but only 30 minutes it has to do something (only one job came
to be processed and took 30 minutes) I will be charged for 48 hours or
for 30 minutes (1 hours) = 0.05 USD ?

I'm considering using Heroku for a new app that I'm working on - but
I'm not too sure about backups.
I can grab a bundle every night, or use this:

grab the database (as I've already got my code stored in source
control so I may as well save on bandwidth).

Yeah, that does work. I've kind of given up on Pony though. Instead, I
created a quick notification email in ActionMailer, like this:

Any chance that basic accounts will be given their first worker free

Re: error installing heroku gem (ruby 1.9 / mac os x)

2010-01-06T22:48:20Z

Yeah, I can confirm the same issue on Arch Linux. This appears to have
something to do with Ruby 1.9. First of all, the 'json' gem is unnecessary
on 1.9, it is included in the standard library.

You'd need to configure Pony similarly to how this plugin does it:

Has anyone had any luck using Pony ([link]) on
Heroku with Sendgrid?
My ActionMailer emails are getting sent correctly, but I'm not having
any luck sending via Pony.

Hey there,
Like dynos, a worker is charged while it is active whether or not
there is work for it to do.
