Adding Temporary Dyno for Spike in Traffic to my site (Heroku Rails App)
<p>I am expecting a large increase in traffic tomorrow(press, etc) to my website. I want to be able to manage the traffic without it going down. I know that I have to add dyno's and the cost is not too prohibitive because it is only temporary to keep the queue down.</p>

<p>I am using New Relic Add-On to Monitor</p>

<p>This post is really helpful: <a href="https://serverfault.com/questions/394602/how-to-prepare-for-a-huge-spike-in-traffic-for-launching-a-website-hosted-on-her">https://serverfault.com/questions/394602/how-to-prepare-for-a-huge-spike-in-traffic-for-launching-a-website-hosted-on-her</a></p>

<p>However after reading that post and pouring over heroku docs I have not been able to figure out how I actually do this...</p>

<p>What command can I run or from what interface can I spin up a new dyno to handle the added web traffic? Then, with what command do I run or from what interface do I eliminate that extra dyno when the traffic has return to normal levels?</p>

<p>Heroku talk about a bunch of different types of dyno's etc but I have no idea which one I am supposed to use and then how to actually spin up a new one. </p>
