HTTP routing
The Heroku platform receives HTTP requests coming from the entry point
herokuapp.com
or by your custom domain, and forwards these requests to the load balancer, then to the
routing mesh that distributes it for each dyno. The routing mesh is a personalized solution
developed in Erlang based on MochiWeb (
https://github.com/mochi/mochiweb
). Each dyno
has its own queue of requests to be processed. When a dyno is available, it picks up a re-
quest from its queue and the application inside the dyno processes it.
