Scaling that gets ahead of spikes

Add and remove capacity automatically — and react to how fast traffic is rising, not just how high it is.

How it scales

Set the smallest and largest size for a pool and the traffic level at which it should grow or shrink. The fleet then adds or removes capacity for you, one step at a time, staying within your limits.

Anticipate, don't just react

Beyond reacting to how busy you are right now, scaling can respond to how quickly traffic is climbing — and even how quickly that climb is accelerating — so capacity is on its way up before a sudden surge lands on your users.

Safe by default

Scaling starts in a preview mode: it shows you exactly what it would do and records it, without changing anything, so you can watch it make the right calls before you let it act on its own.
