With Heroku's JRuby support you may have already seen that you can run TorqueBox Lite on Heroku. But, that only gives you the web features of TorqueBox. What about scheduled jobs, backgroundable, messaging, services, and caching?

This example uses TorqueBox 3.0.2, but the instructions may work with other TorqueBox versions.
