    So far we are using UrbanAirship for push notification to devices, its ruby wrapper is also available https://github.com/groupon/urbanairship.

    You can also use pusher.com which supports websocket (push can be sent on web).(heroku’s add on is also available for pusher.com)

    Using any of above will just forward the request to these third parties for sending push notification and there will be no load on your herokus server.
