Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------
- **Question:** *Does it start workers immediately after a job gets queued?*
- **Answer:** Yes, once a new job gets queued it'll immediately calculate the amount of workers that are required and hire them accordingly.

- **Question:** *Will running jobs concurrently (with multiple Worker) cost more?*
- **Answer:** Actually, no. Since worker's are pro-rated to the second, the moment you hire 3 workers, it costs 3 times more, but it also processes 3 times faster. You could also let 1 worker process all the jobs rather than 3, but that means it'll still cost the same amount as when you hire 3 workers, since it takes 3 times longer to process.
- **Question:** *Can I process jobs faster with HireFire?*
- **Answer:** When you run multiple jobs concurrently, you can speed up your processing dramatically. *Normally you wouldn't set the workers to 10 for example, but with HireFire you can tell it to Hire 10 workers when there are 50 jobs (would normally be overkill and cost you A LOT of money) but since (see Q/A above) Workers are pro-rated to the second, and HireFire immediately fires all workers once all the jobs in the queue have been processed, it makes no different whether you have a single worker processing 50 jobs, or 5 workers, or even 10 workers. It processes 10 times faster, but costs the same.*
