Why heroku does not run my procfile processes?

Question

When I run foreman start on localhost all the process inside the Procfile run normally:

#Procfile

web: bundle exec unicorn -p $PORT -c ./config/unicorn.rb
resque: env TERM_CHILD=1 QUEUE=* bundle exec rake resque:work
sqs_converted: bundle exec rake sqs:listen_converted
sqs_failed: bundle exec rake sqs:listen_failed

---

$ foreman start

13:52:07 sqs_failed.1     | started with pid 3521
13:52:07 web.1            | started with pid 3518
13:52:07 sqs_converted.1  | started with pid 3520
13:52:07 resque.1         | started with pid 3519

But when I deploy to heroku and run heroku ps all I have running is a web.1 instance

=== web: `bundle exec unicorn -p $PORT -c ./config/unicorn.rb`
web.1: up for 8m

Can't figure out what is happening... Thanks

You still need to scale your processes with heroku ps:scale resque=1 sqs_convert=1 sqs_failed=1 . You can read all about scaling your processes and the commands you can use in Scaling your process formation in the Heroku docs.
