Scaling
Scale your applications by upgrading your plan to get more containers, memory, and features.
How Scaling Works
On SnapDeploy, you scale by choosing your container size at deploy time (Small 512 MB, Medium 2 GB, Large 4 GB) and adding Always-On for containers that need to run 24/7.
Manage your containers and Always-On subscriptions from the Containers page in your dashboard.
Need more resources? Deploy a larger container — no complex configuration needed.
Resources by Plan

|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| Hobby | $9/mo | 2 | 512 MB | Subdomain only | 10 min |

What You Get When You Upgrade
More Containers
Deploy more applications simultaneously. Go from 2 containers on Free/Hobby to 6 on Pro.
More RAM
Increase memory per container from 512 MB (Free/Hobby) up to 4 GB (Pro) for demanding applications.
Custom Domains
Add your own domain with free SSL. Available from the Starter plan (2 domains) up to unlimited on Business.
Longer Builds
Build timeout increases from 5 minutes (Free) to 30 minutes (Business) for larger projects.
Auto-Sleep & Always-On
On Free, Hobby, Starter, and Pro plans, containers automatically go to sleep after a period of inactivity to optimize resources. When traffic arrives, containers wake up automatically in about 60 seconds.
Auto-Sleep/Wake (Free — Pro)
- Saves resources when idle
- Auto-wake on incoming traffic
- ~60 second wake time
Always-On (Business)
- No auto-sleep — containers run 24/7
- 99.95% uptime SLA
