On Heroku, every second costs.

When your staging and review apps run 24/7, you’re racking up costs month after month. But chances are, you don’t need every app all the time.

Here’s how it works

1

When an app is inactive for 30 minutes, AutoIdle puts it to sleep. Without you lifting a finger.

2

If the app receives an HTTP request, AutoIdle reactivates it. With the same dyno count and active processes present.

3

See your Heroku bill shrink immediately. You’re only paying for the time you’re actively using the app.

You will save a lot of your costs on Heroku

Discovering AutoIdle was a small blessing. It's enabled us to reduce our costs across dev environments by a non-trivial fraction. I love that we can run dynos at parity across deployments without having to pay the production price everywhere.
Huge fan!
