Provision Scalingo's PostgreSQL add-on, wire the connection URL into your Node.js process, deploy via Git, and verify the database handshake using logs and a health endpoint.
Scalingo's horizontal auto-scaling adds containers under load, but session state, database pools, and cold starts decide whether it helps or hurts. Here is how to size a policy safely.
Decide whether to manually set dyno counts or enable auto‑scaling on Scalingo by comparing cost, control, responsiveness. This guide outlines constraints, trade‑offs, and a concrete YAML example to help you pick the right strategy.
Learn how to configure Scalingo’s built‑in CPU‑based autoscaler for a stateless web app: requirements, minimal setup, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and verification steps.
Stop paying for idle background workers. Learn how to use Scalingo's queue-based autoscaling to dynamically adjust worker dynos based on real-time job volume.
Deploying on Scalingo can cause brief 502s if containers are slow to warm up. Pairing Preboot with explicit Postgres connection budgeting avoids the spike and keeps releases smooth.
Scalingo auto-detects your language from marker files, but when should you override with .scalingo-buildpacks or a Dockerfile? A practical decision guide with examples and verification commands.
A decision guide for enabling Scalingo Review Apps: compare manual vs automated setup, understand trade‑offs, and follow a concrete implementation with validation steps.
Scalingo's container autoscaling trades money for latency headroom: it adds web containers during traffic spikes and removes them after. Here's how it works, a concrete configuration, and the database bottleneck it can't fix.
