Scaling
How to scale SkyPort operationally without inventing unsupported orchestration.
SkyPort does not currently advertise automatic horizontal scaling. Scale it the same way many self-hosted infrastructure tools scale: by adding capacity, isolating responsibilities, and keeping each layer simple.
Practical Scaling Patterns
- move the backend to a larger VPS when the host is saturated
- split workloads across multiple VPS profiles
- keep Docker workloads separate from PM2-managed processes where possible
- use reverse proxy mappings to keep public entrypoints stable
What To Monitor First
terminal
skyport status
skyport docker ps
skyport pm2 list
What Not To Claim
- automatic auto-scaling
- cluster scheduling
- multi-node orchestration unless the feature is actually implemented
