The Appharbor pricing page defines a worker something you increase to Improve the reliability

  • 0

The Appharbor pricing page defines a worker something you increase to “Improve the reliability and responsiveness of your website”. But in trying to compare price with others such as aws, I am having a hard time defining what a worker is exactly.

Anyone have a better definition than “more is better”?

    From this thread:

    AppHarbor is a multitenant platform and we’re running multiple
    application on each application server. A worker is an actual worker
    process that is limited in terms of the amount of resources it can
    consume.

    …

    2 workers will always be on two different machines. We’re probably
    going to reuse machines when you scale to more than that and increase
    process limits instead (this could yield better performance as you
    need to populate fewer local cache etc.)
