Managing Apps

Scaling Apps

🏳️ High Availability Apps are only available on the Growth, Scale, and Enterprise plans.

Apps RAM/CPU, and Disk, be scaled on-demand with zero downtime deployments. Refer to App Scaling for more information.

Apps scaled to 2 or more Containers are automatically deployed in a high-availability configuration, with Containers deployed in separate AWS Availability Zones.

Like all Releases, when Apps are scaled, a new set of Containers will be launched to replace the existing ones for each of your App's Services.

Restarting Apps

Apps can be restarted using the aptible restart command.
