Greater performance and user experience
Control your dyno formations on the schedule of your business.
If your dynos are always scaled to handle your maximum load, it’s not ideal (and it’s expensive). Use FlightFormation to provision more resources for a better user experience when your users are actually online and less when nobody is around. Reduce your cost overall.
Example
Vikram’s application has heavy importing at the beginning of the business day, max processing through the bulk of the business day, and almost nothing but exporting overnight.
With FlightFormation, he scheduled dyno formations to automatically switch between configurations and functions, going from 5:2:1 to 2:6:2 to 1:1:4, saving over 75% from the moderate compromise ratio he ran all day before FlightFormation.
Works with any application
No code changes, no risk trial
FlightFormation uses Heroku's API to monitor and scale your application. You don't need to make any changes to your application’s code, or install any additional packages or libraries.
Greater possibilities
Could you use more dynos to…
- Generate reports overnight?
- Handle a heavy load on weekday mornings?
- Import client update data at the close of business daily?
- Generate invoices once a month?
- Interface with the database (without ever overloading it)?
- Schedule more dynos one-time for an upcoming promotion?
- Or just need an automatic restart every so often?
...then FlightFormation was built for you.
