Scaling

Scale your application to handle any load

Scaling Strategies

DarkAura provides both manual and automatic scaling options to ensure your application performs optimally under any load.

Horizontal Scaling

Add more instances to distribute load across multiple servers.

# Scale to 5 instances
darkaura scale --instances 5

# Via SDK
await client.servers.scale('srv_abc123', { instances: 5 })

Vertical Scaling

Upgrade server resources (CPU, RAM, storage) for more capacity.

await client.servers.resize('srv_abc123', {
  type: 'enterprise', // Upgrade to enterprise tier
  storage: 500 // GB
})

Auto Scaling

Configure automatic scaling based on metrics.

await client.autoscaling.configure({
  serverId: 'srv_abc123',
  minInstances: 2,
  maxInstances: 10,
  rules: [
    { metric: 'cpu', threshold: 70, scaleUp: 2 },
    { metric: 'cpu', threshold: 30, scaleDown: 1 }
  ],
  cooldown: 300 // seconds
})

Load Balancing

  • ✓Automatic load balancing across all instances
  • ✓Health checks with automatic failover
  • ✓Sticky sessions for stateful applications
  • ✓Geographic routing for global traffic
