Danny, I am no expert at heroku but here's what i know:
> First, the app uses a cron job to periodically query the Twitter API- > can you support cron jobs, on the order of a 10-minute periodicity? They will have this in the future. Right now, 1 hr cron's is what they offer. One possible alternative/workaround is to remotely call a rake task at a set interval. However,there is a timeout limit on the cron jobs so you'll need to check what that timeout limit is. > Second, the app has received approval from Twitter for unlimited API > calls (i.e.- they have lifted their API rate limiting for this app). > The way they do that is by IP address, so I've had to tell them the > static IP that I have at Slicehost.

I've been in talks with McAfee about their security seal feature but it also needs an IP. > Lastly, the app will soon have a Delayed Job queue (http://github.com/ > tobi/delayed_job/tree/master)- this requires a separate instance > running one or more workers, which are simply long-running rake > tasks. Can Heroku deal with this? In the near future, yes. Today, no.
