We’ve expanded the setup workflow when onboarding a new Heroku app, to allow starting with response time metrics for autoscaling, even if we have an available adapter to collect queue time metrics. This can be useful if you’re having trouble setting up the adapter initially (we can help!), or just want a quicker way to get started.

You’ll also find a new “Setup” option within the autoscaling settings to relaunch the setup flow. You can check the language and framework settings, and review the adapter installation instructions for them. This helps setting up new types of processes, like a new background worker. And if you’re on Heroku, it’s where you’ll be able to switch your web dyno to autoscale with queue time by installing the adapter with the provided instructions, if you’ve started with response time. (or vice-versa, should you wish.)
