Scaling

Configure instance bounds for a deployment

Configuration

Set the instance bounds for a deployment by its id:

bash

curl -X POST https://api.scalix.world/v1/compute/deployments/$DEPLOYMENT_ID/scale \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SCALIX_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "min_instances": 1,
    "max_instances": 20
  }'

The /scale endpoint updates the stored min_instances and max_instances for the deployment record.

Scaling a Run service

For services you run on Scalix Run, set bounds via the CLI:

bash

scalix-cloud run scale <service-id> --min-instances 3 --max-instances 10

Run services scale to zero when min-instances is 0 and scale back up on demand.
