Running on Heroku

[cancan101]

I was wondering what the best practices are to use edgedb on Heroku. I didn't see any notes here as to how to do so.

Given my understanding of the edgedb architecture, it seems like the application -> edgedb -> postgres in which case edgedb should be runnable as a sort of sidecar / daemon process sitting along side the application and then communicating with a standard (managed) DB service. In that case perhaps using a similar approach to how Heroku suggests integrating pgbouncer with your application which is to use "Multiple Buildpacks for an App" and then run the edgedb application as a daemon process in the same dyno as the webserver. I don't know the implications though of having multiple daemons running in different dynos.

That's right. The "sidecar" buildpack approach is one way. We need to make Heroku buildpack, though, which we haven't yet.
