#2Free idea here. Create an add-on that monitors your load and tells you when you've probably got too many workers and dynos.
Credit goes to the guy who got stuck with the $1300 Heroku bill... he inspired this idea.

This is such a good and obviously needed idea that it makes me want to run out and implement it tonight. (No guarantees that I'll do it, but I'm 100% sure someone will.)

#4I'm waiting for the recursive add-on: Someone creates an add-on, hosts it on Heroku and then enables the add-on in the add-on app.

#5I didn't see (from a quick reading of the docs) how developers get paid: via Heroku, or a direct charge to end users?

I'm already building an addon as a Heroku app. Of course, I work for Heroku, so it probably doesn't count.

It's via Heroku. They handle customer management and billing, and send revenue to you (after taking a cut).

an addon might be overkilled. try the heroku gem.
you can check out the example here: http://github.com/pedro/delayed_job/tree/autoscaling
for worker, you might have to track the number of jobs in your queue. for dyno, you might have to track the number of requests you get within a time period.

The add-on that I've built has the provisioning system and server management portion on Heroku.

Even easier would be an add-on that allows you to bump up your resources for a pre-determined time period, after which they return to baseline values.
That way there would be no need for further user intervention at all.
