Scaling Between Tiers
RepoCloud makes it easy to scale your resources as your needs change:Upgrading Resources
Most scaling operations occur without downtime or with minimal interruption. Your data and configuration remain intact when scaling between tiers.
Downgrading Resources
You can also downgrade to a lower tier if you find you’ve over-provisioned:Autoscaling vs. Fixed Tiers
RepoCloud offers two approaches to resource allocation:Fixed Tiers
- Predictable Costs: Fixed monthly pricing based on the selected tier
- Guaranteed Resources: Consistent resource allocation regardless of usage
- Simplicity: No need to monitor or manage scaling
- Best For: Applications with consistent resource needs
Elastic Autoscaling
- Cost Efficiency: Pay only for resources actually used
- Dynamic Adjustment: Resources scale up and down based on actual needs
- Optimal Performance: Automatically handles traffic spikes
- Best For: Applications with variable resource needs
Additional Resources
Beyond the base resource tiers, you can also add:- Additional NVMe SSD storage: $0.10 per GB per month
- Data Transfer In: $0 per GB (free)
- Data Transfer Out: $0.10 per GB
