Render Scaling
This skill covers how to scale Web Services, Private Services, and Background Workers on Render: manual instance counts, autoscaling with a Pro workspace or higher, compute plan choices, and platform limits. Deeper guidance lives under references/.
When a service has or might need an attached disk, read references/persistent-disks.md before choosing a scaling architecture.
When to Use
- Setting or changing instance count (Dashboard, CLI, API, or Blueprint)
- Configuring autoscaling (min/max, CPU and memory targets)
- Choosing vertical (plan) vs horizontal (more instances) scaling
- Understanding constraints (disks, static sites, cron/workflows, 100-instance cap)
- Cost implications of running more or larger instances
- Blueprint fields:
