Hi Chris,

Nice setup!

These are real wins.

As surprised as I am, I have to admit, it really is.

We may never reach the boundaries of that fallacy, given our usage is
very limited.

I wonder how many "free" dynos we could have before they start
charging us for the "group of 15 units running 15 similar setups from
the same group".

Though, currently, we only have a handful of them, so we should be
fine for the time being.

I'll follow your steps and if that works, I'll start redirecting my
bot again to that.

Thanks for setting this up! This was the last missing action item from
the last Performance BoF, just in time for the next! :)

cheers,
