Auto-Scaling

Overview

Chita Cloud automatically scales your services based on demand. Scaling happens transparently within your plan limits - no configuration needed.

How It Works

The platform automatically manages resources for optimal performance:

• Fully Automatic: No manual configuration required
• Plan-Based Limits: Scales within the resources of your current plan
• Transparent: Scaling happens in the background
• Zero-Downtime: Seamless scaling without interruptions

Your service will automatically use more or fewer resources based on traffic and load, staying within your plan's capacity.

Available Resources by Plan

Scaling limits are determined by your plan:

Plan	Max Resources	Requests/month
Free	0.5 vCPU, 512MB	25k
Freelancer Starter	Plan limits	100k
Freelancer Professional	Plan limits	350k
Team Agency	Plan limits	1M+

Monitoring Performance

While you can't directly monitor scaling events, you can track service performance:

Response Time Metrics

In your dashboard:

1. Navigate to your service
2. Go to "Metrics" tab
3. View average response times
4. Monitor over time

When to Upgrade

Consider upgrading your plan if you notice:

• High response times: Consistently slow responses indicate resource constraints
• Performance degradation: Services slowing down during peak hours
• Growing traffic: Approaching your plan's request limits

Upgrading to a higher plan provides more resources for auto-scaling to utilize, resulting in faster response times.

Best Practices

• Monitor response times regularly
• Upgrade plan when response times increase
• Optimize your code for better resource usage
• Use caching (Redis) to reduce load
• Optimize database queries
• Consider CDN for static assets

Next Steps

• Monitor performance
• Add Redis for caching
• PostgreSQL optimization
