You need to choose one of the plans from here: http://heroku.com/pricing with regards to your database option. Scaling dynos/workers can be done dynamically from the command line or website to scale to the load. > > Thanks for any help anybody can give me, > > DAZ > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Heroku" group.
