Heroku Dynos: Coexisting with noisy neighbors
Snowpal Podcast: Discuss recent upgrades to Heroku Dynos and the implementation of caching, which have resulted in improved performance.
In this video, Krish discusses the recent upgrades to Heroku Dynos and the implementation of caching, which have resulted in improved performance. He explains the difference between Heroku 1X and 2X Dynos and how the increased memory of 2X Dynos benefits the system. Krish also delves into the concept of dynos and virtual machines, highlighting the potential impact of noisy roommates and neighbors on performance. He concludes by discussing local development and performance expectations for the product.
Takeaways
Upgrading to Heroku 2X Dynos and implementing caching has significantly improved performance.
Dynos are virtual machines on Heroku that can be co-located with other dynos, potentially affecting performance.
Noisy roommates and neighbors can impact the performance of dynos.
Local development may not accurately reflect performance on Heroku, but as long as the response time is under 300 milliseconds, it should be acceptable.
