About Rails Autoscale
Rails Autoscale is more of an “I” than a “we” right now. I’m Adam, and I started Rails Autoscale as a side project in 2016, going full-time in May of 2021. I launched Judoscale as an evolution of Rails Autoscale in early 2022. I work as a solo dev-founder out of my home in Ohio (USA).
What is Rails Autoscale / Judoscale?
Judoscale is an autoscaler add-on for Heroku. It adds and removes dynos automatically based on server capacity, saving money during quiet times and improving performance during periods of high load.
Rails Autoscale is also an autoscaler add-on for Heroku, but it’s specific to Rails apps. Judoscale evolved out of Rails Autoscale, and the original lives on.
