Curious about scalability

Hi!

Thanks for the awesome product!

Encore looks like the perfect choice for my next side project so far! Maybe the scale of the project won't need it, but I'm still curious about scalability. I only glanced at the docs and quickly searched the issues about scalability and couldn't find anything relevant. Hence the question: what happens when a service is overwhelmed with requests? Do we have auto-scale or anything as such?

I think there's some kind of auto-scaling, but I can't find any detail in the document. When using auto scalers in K8s, we often need to at least configure the target type, I wonder if there's something similar here.

Hi, Encore Cloud provisions infra resources that support scaling and exposes knobs for this via the Encore Cloud dashboard. You can learn more about the details the docs for each supported cloud provider:
