How many Heroku dynos do you need, and which size — an opinionated guide
railsautoscale.com
Like the title says, an opinionated take on how many dynos of what size you should be running. The overall recommendation? “Standard-2x dynos offer the best combination of price and performance for most apps. If you encounter memory quota warnings on 2x dynos, you should make the jump to Performance-L. For either dyno type, autoscaling is the only way to know how many dynos you should be running.”
