Salesforce Exam Heroku Architect Topic 6 Question 28 Discussion

Actual exam question for Salesforce's Heroku Architect exam

Question #: 28
Topic #: 6

Universal Containers has recently experienced a higher volume of traffic on their mobile app hosted on Heroku. When Universal Containers was running 4 standard-2x dynos with 1 GB RAM each, they encountered multiple H12 ("request timeout") errors. The app never consumed more than 800 MB of RAM. They then switched to performance-m dynos, with 2.5 GB RAM, and set autoscaling to a maximum of 2 dynos. However, they still encountered H12 ("request timeout") errors.

What remediation should an Architect recommend to alleviate this problem?

AMove long-running tasks to worker dynos.

BAdd a logging add-on from the Elements marketplace.

CUpgrade to performance-L dynos with 14 GB RAM.

DReplace autoscaling with a manual scaling option of 2.

Wait, so they're getting timeout errors on an app that's not even using all the RAM it has? Someone call the IT Helpdesk, we've got a real brain teaser here!

Replacing autoscaling with manual scaling? What is this, the Stone Age? Autoscaling is the way to go, even if it takes some trial and error to get it right.

Upgrading to performance-L dynos with 14 GB RAM sounds like overkill. If the app never used more than 800 MB, that's a lot of extra resources.

Adding a logging add-on might help diagnose the issue, but it doesn't really address the underlying problem of timeouts.

Moving long-running tasks to worker dynos seems like the obvious choice here. That way, the main app can focus on handling incoming requests more efficiently.
