​You could use the sucker punch gem which does the background processing along with the rails process, so there shouldn't be the need to start another dyno. Not sure about if we can schedule it to start at a particular point of time.
 
 


​Thanks..this seems  to be a suitable gem for my purpose. The resque / resque-scheduler was overkill since it was costing $70 a month just to run simple scheduled tasks .
 
Btw, just curious. Cant we write cron jobs in heroku? Using something like the whenever gem.

​I am not sure conventional cron jobs can be made to work on heroku. There is no persistent file storage ​so even if the crontab file is edited, it wont reflect on any other dyno.

Thanks,
Ganesh
