​
Autoscaling vs. Fixed Resources

Autoscaling

Benefits:
  • Pay only for resources you actually use
  • Automatically handles traffic spikes
  • Scales down during low-activity periods
  • Cost-efficient for variable workloads

Fixed Resources

Benefits:
  • Predictable monthly costs
  • Guaranteed resources at all times
  • Simpler to budget and plan
  • Better for consistent workloads
Autoscaling monitors your application’s resource usage and adjusts resources in real-time, charging on an hourly basis for what you actually use.

​
Application Persistence

Applications deployed on RepoCloud maintain data persistence across restarts and updates:
  • Persistent Storage: Application data is stored on reliable NVMe SSD storage
  • Database Persistence: Databases maintain data integrity across updates
  • Configuration Persistence: Your application settings remain intact when updating or scaling

​
Security Considerations

Every deployment on RepoCloud includes:
  • SSL Certificates: Automatic SSL for secure HTTPS connections
