TCP Socket communication between processes on Heroku worker dyno

Question

I\'d like to know how to communicate between processes on a Heroku worker dyno.

We want a Resque worker to read off a queue and send the data to another process runn

Answer 1

Heroku only lets you listen in a given port ($PORT) per dyno, I think.

I see two solutions here:

• Use Redis as a communication middleware, so the worker would write on Redis again and the listener process, instead of listening in a port would be querying redis for new jobs.

• Get another heroku dyno (or better, a complete different application) and launch there the listening process (on $PORT) and communicate both applications
