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
