heroku_resque_autoscaler

Heroku Resque Autoscaler

Uses Resque Job Hooks and the Heroku API gem to autoscale Heroku Resque workers

Inspired by @darkhelmet's Auto-scale Your Resque Workers On Heroku

Current Version

0.1.2

Requirements

• "heroku_api", "~> 0.3.5"
• "resque", "~> 1.23.0"

Installation

Gemfile

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'heroku_resque_autoscaler'

Manual

Or install it yourself:

gem install heroku_resque_autoscaler

Usage

Set defaults in an initializer, defaults are shown:

HerokuResqueAutoscaler.configure do |config|
  config.heroku_api_key  = ENV["HEROKU_API_KEY"]
  config.heroku_app_name = ENV["HEROKU_APP_NAME"]
end

Export you environment variables wherever you do that:

export HEROKU_API_KEY=heroku_api_key
export HEROKU_APP_NAME=heroku_app_name

Your Resque workers should extend HerokuResqueAutoscaler:

class AutoscaledJob
  extend HerokuResqueAutoscaler

  def self.perform
    # Do something
  end
end

You can optionally configure a maximum number of workers to scale up to in your configuration block.

HerokuResqueAutoscaler.configure do |config|
  config.max_resque_workers  = ENV["MAX_RESQUE_WORKERS"] 
end
