Heroku Always Up 🚀

The purpose of this repo is to keep always available the free dyno heroku application you want.

BThere are some restrictions on this issue. As mentioned below, every 30 minute sleeps if there is no traffic during this periods. In addition, each personal account has 550 free dyno hours per month. If your application is always up, this period will be exhausted before the end of the month.

• Sends a request to the your application every 20 minutes
• Requests are not sent between 02:00am and 08:00am. In this way, your free dyno hour is enough for the whole month.

Dyno sleeping
If an app has a free web dyno, and that dyno receives no web traffic in a 30-minute period, it will sleep. In addition to the web dyno sleeping, the worker dyno (if present) will also sleep.

Free dyno hour pool
Personal accounts are given a base of 550 free dyno hours each month. In addition to these base hours, accounts which verify with a credit card will receive an additional 450 hours added to the monthly free dyno quota. This means you can receive a total of 1000 free dyno hours per month, if you verify your account with a credit card.
