Deployment

Heroku

Add worker in your Procfile:

worker: bundle exec shoryuken ...

Then:

heroku ps:scale worker=1

Shoryuken does not require a web process. You can disable web if you don't need it.

heroku ps:scale web=0

If you have only one dyno running worker=1, web=0, not matter if it's a worker, you will be on the Heroku free tier!

Capistrano

Use capistrano-shoryuken.

OpsWorks

AWS Elastic Beanstalk
