Containers

You can adjust the number of containers (or replicas) for your app (or database) on the app env page. Just use the controls in the header:

Be sure to apply changes after adjusting the container number to scale your app or database:

High Availability​

Check if High Availability (HA) is active for your environment beneath the container control:

HA is active when you're running three or more containers. This guarantees your app or database runs on separate physical machines to minimize disruption from potential machine or container failures.

Note: The HA status UI indicator considers your current configuration, even when it's not applied yet. This means that if you have 2 containers and you're trying to add a third one, your High Availability status will be achieved in fact when you apply the changes.

Container Distribution​

Container distribution is guided by affinity, meaning we distribute containers across different VMs and physical machines within the same region. This strategy improves fault tolerance and resilience for your applications and databases.

By spreading containers across multiple nodes, we ensure a robust hosting environment for critical workloads.
