TIL you can run custom images on Heroku!

Although, does Heroku give you access to persistent disk and also do they let containers run without interruption? If no, then Typesense will not be suitable, because it needs both of these given that it’s an in-memory datastore, with a backup on disk.

In any case, that particular error happens when there aren’t enough file handles and/or memory in the runtime. Could you try may be increasing the node capacity?
