Scaling

Convox allows you to easily scale any Service on the following dimensions:

  • Horizontal concurrency (number of Processes)
  • CPU allocation (in CPU units where 1024 units is one full CPU)
  • Memory allocation (in MB)

Initial Defaults

You can specify the scale for any Service in your convox.yml

services:
  web:
    scale:
      count: 2
      cpu: 256
      memory: 512

If you specify a static count it will only be used on first deploy. Subsequent changes must be made using the convox CLI.

Manual Scaling

Determine Current Scale

$ convox scale
NAME  DESIRED  RUNNING  CPU  MEMORY
web   2        2        256  512

Scaling Horizontally

$ convox scale web --count=3

Autoscaling

To use autoscaling you must specify a range for allowable Process count and target values for CPU and Memory utilization (in percent):

service:
  web:
    scale:
      count: 1-10
      targets:
        cpu: 70
        memory: 90

The number of Processes will be continually adjusted to maintain your target metrics.
