Scaling & presets

Pick a resource preset (CPU / RAM / storage), change it live, and enable auto-scaling with auto-pay.

Each project runs on a resource preset that sets its CPU, RAM, and storage. You can change the preset on a running project without a code change, and optionally enable auto-scaling so the platform sizes the app up under load.

Resource presets

Presets range from Starter to Enterprise. Changing tiers from the project's Resource Plan tab rolls out the new size with no downtime.

Auto-scaling

Toggle auto-scaling so the project grows automatically when it needs more resources. Auto-scaling pairs with auto-pay, so any additional hourly compute is billed to your account without manual top-ups. This matters most for apps with spiky or unpredictable traffic — a launch, a marketing push, a batch job — where sizing for the worst case up front would mean paying for idle capacity the rest of the time.

Tip
Idle apps on the Hobby plan auto-sleep and are free while down. See Pricing and Plans.
