In plain words

Dynosaur is an autoscaler designed for Heroku that uses Google Analytics Live data to adjust application resources based on real-time traffic. It automatically scales dynos up or down in response to visitor activity, helping teams manage infrastructure costs and performance. The tool is intended for Heroku users who want to optimize their application scaling without manual intervention.

    Startup Weekend just started in our city and we thought we'll build a Heroku autoscaler that really works, and saves you not only from slowly building traffic but from the slashdot effect as well.<p>Those who tried out ddollar's gem (and all forks of it) or even Heroscale know that the problem's not so trivial to solve.<p>We hope people will get it, and pay a small monthly fee to save many days of inrastructure coding so they can focus on business logic instead.<p>URL is: http://scalefu.com/
