Rails - Jun 2013 - Sidekiq on Heroku

Hi

I want to use Sidekiq to run some jobs in the background. The jobs will be 
created by the whenever gem (or similar) which creates a Sidekiq worker at 
a specific time. This worker will in turn create a few hundred Sidekiq jobs.

So, I''m using Heroku and wonder if I need to use a separate worker dyno
for
these jobs? Or can I use, for example, Unicorn to run Sidekiq "inside"
my
one web dyno?
I read something about it here: https://coderwall.com/p/fprnhg
But is it a good idea?

If it is not appropriate do it this way, can I spin up a separate worker 
when I need to? Perhaps I will create these jobs once a week. It would be 
cool to create a worker -> finish all jobs -> kill worker. Possible?

You can, but it''s not recommended.

Not if you ask me.
