Autoscale Deployments run on cloud computing resources that scale up and down to efficiently handle the network traffic and workload of your Replit App. When your app is busy, autoscaling adds servers to manage the load. When your app is idle, it reduces the number to as low as zero to save you money. Autoscale Deployments are ideal for the following use cases: * Web applications that handle variable workloads and traffic such as ecommerce sites * APIs and services Autoscale Deployment ## Features Autoscale Deployment include the following features: * **Automatic resource scaling**: Automatically adjusts resources based on traffic patterns to optimize costs. * **Custom domains**: Configure a custom domain or use a `.replit.app` URL to access your app. * **Configurable limits**: Set the maximum number of instances your published app can scale to. * **Flexible machine power**: Choose the CPU and RAM configuration that meets your app's needs. * **Monitoring**: View logs and monitor your published app's status. ## Usage You can access Autoscale Deployment in the Publishing Project Editor tool. From the left **Tool dock**: 1. Select All tools icon **All tools** to see a list of Project Editor tools. 2. Select Publishing icon **Publishing**. 3. Select the **Autoscale** option and then select **Set up your published app**. From the **Search bar**: 1. Select the magnifying glass icon magnifying glass at the top to open the search tool 2. Type "Publishing" to locate the tool and select it from the results. 3. Select the **Autoscale** option and then select **Set up your published app**. Autoscale publishing options ## Machine power Select **Edit** to view and set the machine power options. Use the sliders to select the CPU and RAM configuration for each published app server instance. View the **compute unit** cost for the configuration in the **Total per machine** row. A compute unit is a measurement of cloud computing resources based on the memory and CPU configuration of the machine. To learn more about calculating the cost based on Compute Units, see [Compute Units](/billing/about-usage-based-billing#2-compute-units). screenshot of the machine power configuration ## Max number of machines Use the slider to adjust the maximum number of machines. This number is the upper limit of server instances the autoscaling feature can assign when it determines your app is busy. The bottom row shows the equivalent compute units, calculated by the following formula: `Number of machines * compute units per machine` screenshot of the max number of machines configuration ## Next steps * [Published App Monitoring](/cloud-services/deployments/monitoring-a-deployment/): Learn how to view logs and monitor your published app. * [Publishing costs](/billing/deployment-pricing): View the costs associated with publishing. * [Pricing](https://replit.com/pricing/): View the pricing and allowances for each plan type. * [Usage Allowances](/billing/about-usage-based-billing/): Learn about scheduled deployment usage limits and billing units.
