I really believe that [SimpleWorker] rocks and that it will be a major force in the marketplace

I'll take you up on this and frankly I am also thankful if I can contribute
to make simpleworker a great product. I really believe that it rocks and
that it will be a major force in the marketplace.

Now I don't have an excuse not to use Heroku

Thanks! Yeah I'm totally digging this service because not only does it scale but I also like the fact that I don't have to worry about memory consumption, worker monitoring, I can off-load stuff, I get a web interface, and it's very cost-effective. Now I don't have an excuse not to use Heroku (unless i absolutely need SSL though, that's still way too expensive compared to when when you host your own box), but the $36 fixed monthly price for a single worker that might be idle 95% of the time is ( in my opinion ) a deal breaker. But, since you guys came out with SimpleWorker it's a complete game changer. Looking forward to deploy lots of apps to Heroku using SimpleWorker as a background job processor!

Great work, keep it up! : )

I hope SimpleWorker takes off in a big way. It's a great complement to Heroku.

I've had this site on Heroku for a while but it doesn't handle background
jobs properly - https://quickbase-script-engine.heroku.com/ .

Thanks,

[SimpleWorker] solves some real scaling problems and it's going to be exciting to see you guys grow this year

I'm not a SimpleWorker user yet, but I'm going to replace my homespun Resque setup with it shortly.

I know there's a huge opportunity, as Worker prices are a huge pain
point for most Heroku devs. I released a Heroku scaling app for a
short time last year, and scaling workers was the number one request.
I didn't have enough time for a full release, but the demand was
there.

Scaling Heroku Workers was just a hack though. SimpleWorker looks like
the real solution.

Cool! I love these things. I'm looping in one of our dev evangelists, John. He might have some good ideas.
