Automatically scale your cloud infrastructure as demand changes. When CPU usage, traffic, requests, or other metrics cross your threshold, horizontal auto scaling adds new nodes behind your load balancer and distributes traffic automatically. When demand drops, extra nodes are removed so you’re not paying for unused capacity.
You set the minimum and maximum number of nodes — AccuWeb.Cloud handles the scaling in between.
*Across scaling events in the last 90 days, measured at the load balancer.
Each node here handles ~250 req/s before the next one joins.
This is AccuWeb.Cloud auto scaling cloud hosting built for websites and applications that need to scale automatically as traffic and workload demand increase. Using horizontal auto scaling, new cloud server nodes are added behind your load balancer instead of simply resizing a single server.
When traffic spikes, AccuWeb.Cloud automatically adds capacity, distributes requests across additional nodes, and scales back when demand drops. This helps your application handle sudden traffic growth without manual server resizing, support tickets, or paying for unnecessary idle capacity.
AccuWeb.Cloud automatically adds or removes cloud server nodes based on real-time workload demand. Your load balancer stays in front, while the infrastructure behind it scales automatically to help your website or application handle traffic spikes without manual intervention.
Auto scaling continuously monitors metrics such as CPU usage, memory usage, request load, or your custom application metrics. When a configured threshold is reached, the horizontal scaling process starts automatically.
AccuWeb.Cloud launches a new server node using the same image and configuration as your existing nodes, helping maintain a consistent application environment across the entire auto scaling pool.
Before the new node starts serving visitors, it must pass your configured health checks. Once verified, the load balancer automatically begins distributing traffic to the new server.
When traffic or resource usage falls and remains below your configured threshold, auto scaling safely removes unnecessary nodes after the cooldown period. Existing connections are allowed to complete before a node is removed.
Result: Your cloud infrastructure automatically scales out during traffic spikes and scales back when demand falls, helping maintain performance while reducing the cost of unused server capacity.
CPU usage alone doesn't always tell the full story. Response time, memory usage, request volume, or network activity can show rising demand before CPU becomes a bottleneck. With AccuWeb.Cloud auto scaling, you can choose the metric that best reflects your application and automatically add cloud capacity when it's needed.
Use CPU and memory-based auto scaling for workloads where resource usage directly reflects demand. It's a reliable choice for compute-heavy applications and steady traffic patterns.
Use request-based auto scaling to respond to sudden traffic spikes. As incoming requests increase, AccuWeb.Cloud can automatically add new server nodes before performance starts to suffer.
Need more control? Use custom metric auto scaling based on application-specific data such as response time, queue depth, active users, transactions, or any metric your application exposes through an endpoint.
Choose the right auto-scaling trigger for your workload and let your cloud infrastructure scale automatically as demand changes.
AccuWeb.Cloud horizontal auto scaling is designed to add capacity safely, keep costs predictable, and prevent unhealthy servers from receiving traffic.
Every new cloud node must pass your configured health checks before it joins the load balancer. If a node fails the check, it stays out of the traffic pool.
You control the minimum and maximum number of server nodes in your auto scaling pool. This helps maintain enough capacity for your workload while also preventing unexpected scaling and unnecessary cloud costs.
Auto-scaled nodes are billed per minute, so you pay only for the capacity you actually use. If an extra node runs for 11 minutes during a traffic spike, you're billed for those 11 minutes—not a full hour.
AccuWeb.Cloud horizontal auto scaling can automatically add cloud server nodes when traffic surges, helping applications stay responsive without manual resizing.
Auto scaling can also respond to workload demand such as queue depth, helping clear processing backlogs without keeping unnecessary compute running all night.
