title: Heroku best practice clocks with node.js
body: <p>I'm wondering what the best way is to setup a clock process on Heroku. My app is built entirely in Node and I was planning on using node-schedule to specify my schedules.</p>
  
  <p>My question is: should the clock process itself trigger the events in my cron process and run them within it's own allocated dyno? Heroku seems to indicate that you should use a worker to handle this. In that case, I'm wondering how I can get my clock process to tell the worker to run a specific procedure?</p>
  
  <p>I've been reading up on the Python method to do this and it seems like they are simply triggering the process within the same dyno.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks.</p>
