I want to spin up a Heroku instance that only runs a few jobs scheduled with the Heroku Scheduler add-on. I don't want any processes to start on deploy. Should I configure a dummy process, add an empty Procfile, omit the Procfile, or something else?

An empty Procfile works. Still need to try omitting the Procfile.

  • Be aware that using an empty Procfile effectively prevents you from having HTTP traffic. Heroku gives you about one free dyno per month (750h, which is a bit more, leaving you time for short-lived tasks). – Darkhogg Mar 11 '14 at 07:21
