Is there a way to create new workers on a running dyno in heroku on-the-fly?
Without the need to edit .procfile and restart the dyno?
My scenario is a main worker who create some other workers.

Can you explain this scenario further? Why can't you create a Procfile entry for your various workers? – RangerRanger Jun 01 '16 at 15:40

Because the worker will be generated dynamically... by user action... its make sense for you? – Diego Cubissimo Jun 01 '16 at 17:10

You can easily spawn new processes on your existing dyno, if that's what you are trying to achieve. – Yoni Rabinovitch Jun 01 '16 at 18:38

@YoniRabinovitch I want to run a new worker on my dyno.. not a simple process... worker can be specified only in boot-time? – Diego Cubissimo Jun 07 '16 at 21:45

What exactly do you mean by "worker"? If you mean a background process to which, for example, your main process delegates work, then you can spawn it dynamically at run time, when needed. – Yoni Rabinovitch Jun 08 '16 at 10:41
