Summary

The DigitalOcean App Platform now offers CPU-based autoscaling for dedicated instances, allowing developers to build applications that can efficiently handle varying loads without manual intervention. This feature enhances the platform's managed solution with automatic horizontal scaling capabilities, optimizing performance and cost. The new autoscaling feature is supported for any app platform component with dedicated instances and can be configured using either the user interface or via appspec. It works by continuously collecting CPU usage metrics from containers running application components, comparing them to a configured threshold, and automatically scaling up or down based on the average CPU utilization.
