Heroku multiple web processes

Question

I am working with node.js and heroku and would like to have more than one webprocess running. In the Procfile I have it looking like this:

web: node web.js
web: node differentWeb.js

However when I run it it will only run the last of the two. Is there a way to do this?

Answer 1

An application on Heroku can only have one process named web that gets routed HTTP requests. If you need another web process then that would be another application on Heroku.
