Prioritizing specific endpoints on Heroku to skip / spend less time in request queue

Question

Our API service has several endpoints and one of them is critical for the user experience because it directly affects the page load time.

Is there a way to priotize calls to GET /api/priority_endpoint over GET /api/regular_endpoint so the prioritized requests spend less time in the requests queue?

Thanks...

No, this is not possible. All requests are sent to a random dyno as soon as they're within the router.
The only way you could do this would be by writing your own request queue in your app's code.

Thanks for this answer! – Nimo Nov 15 '15 at 22:45
Is this feature anywhere in your roadmap? :) – Nimo Nov 15 '15 at 22:45
No. Nor would it be a good idea. It would make performance analysis much harder to do, and break the HTTP standard. – Damien MATHIEU Nov 16 '15 at 07:30
