HireFire Integration Library for Ruby Applications

This library integrates Ruby applications with HireFire's Dyno Managers (Heroku Dyno Autoscalers). Instructions specific to supported web frameworks and worker libraries are provided during the setup process.

Supported web frameworks:

  • Rails
  • Sinatra
  • Hanami
  • Rack

Supported worker libraries:

  • Solid Queue
  • Good Job
  • Delayed Job
  • Sidekiq
  • Resque
  • Que
  • QC
  • Bunny

Since 2011, over 1,000 companies have trusted HireFire to autoscale more than 5,000 applications hosted on Heroku, managing over 10,000 web and worker dynos.

HireFire is distinguished by its support for both web and worker dynos, extending autoscaling capabilities to Standard-tier dynos. It provides fine-grained control over scaling behavior and improves scaling accuracy by monitoring more reliable metrics at the application level. These metrics include request queue time (web), job queue latency (worker), and job queue size (worker), which contribute to making more effective scaling decisions.
