Heroku's Production Check recommends the use of the following add-ons, here in the free version:
$ heroku addons:create newrelic:wayne # App monitoring
$ heroku config:set NEW_RELIC_APP_NAME="Rails 7 Starter App" # Set newrelic app name
$ heroku addons:create papertrail:choklad # Log monitoring
Generational GC (called RGenGC) was introduced from Ruby 2.1.0. RGenGC reduces marking time dramatically (about x10 faster). However, RGenGC introduce huge memory consumption. This problem has impact especially for small memory machines.
Ruby 2.1.1 introduced new environment variable RUBY_GC_HEAP_OLDOBJECT_LIMIT_FACTOR to control full GC timing. By setting this variable to a value lower than the default of 2 (we are using the suggested value of 1.3) you can indirectly force the garbage collector to perform more major GCs, which reduces heap growth.
$ heroku config:set RUBY_GC_HEAP_OLDOBJECT_LIMIT_FACTOR=1.3
