Resource Tiers Overview

RepoCloud offers flexible resource tiers designed to accommodate a wide range of applications and workloads. Each tier provides a balanced combination of CPU, RAM, and storage resources at a fraction of the cost of major cloud providers.

​
Resource Tiers

RepoCloud provides seven resource tiers, each offering progressively more computing power, memory, and storage capacity:

​
Choosing the Right Tier

When selecting a resource tier, consider these factors:

​
Application Requirements

Different applications have different resource needs:

​
Traffic Patterns

Consider your expected traffic patterns:
  • Low Traffic (< 10,000 visits/month): Tier 1-2
  • Medium Traffic (10,000-50,000 visits/month): Tier 3-4
  • High Traffic (50,000-200,000 visits/month): Tier 5-6
  • Very High Traffic (200,000+ visits/month): Tier 6-7

​
Data Processing Needs

Different data workloads require different resources:
  • Basic Data Storage: Tier 1-3
  • Data Analysis: Tier 4-5
  • Large Datasets: Tier 5-7
  • Real-time Processing: Tier 5-7

​
Scaling Between Tiers

RepoCloud makes it easy to scale your resources as your needs change:

​
Upgrading Resources

1

Navigate to Instance Settings

Go to your application’s management page
2

Access Scaling Options

Click on the “Scale” tab
3

Select New Tier

Choose your desired resource tier from the available options
4

Apply Changes

Click “Apply Changes” to update your instance 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:
1

Check Resource Usage

Monitor your actual resource usage to determine an appropriate tier
2

Navigate to Instance Settings

Go to your application’s management page
3

Access Scaling Options

Click on the “Scale” tab
4

Select Lower Tier

Choose a lower resource tier
5

Apply Changes

Click “Apply Changes” to update your instance resources
Before downgrading, ensure your application can operate properly with fewer resources. Downgrading to a tier with insufficient resources may cause performance issues or application failures.

​
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
For most users, we recommend starting with autoscaling enabled. This allows your application to find its natural resource usage pattern, and you can switch to a fixed tier later if desired.

​
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
