How to Enable and Disable Maintenance Mode in Judoscale Autoscaling
Maintenance mode allows you to pause autoscaling for an entire app, and resume it again when ready, without having to disable autoscaling for each process.
This is useful when handling tasks such as scheduled maintenance, to prevent Judoscale from managing your app’s scale temporarily.
Enabling maintenance mode
Visit your team dashboard, click edit beside the app you want to enable maintenance mode, and toggle maintenance mode “On”:
Judoscale will pause autoscaling for the app, and automatically scale all the worker processes with autoscaling enabled down to zero.
🚨 Warning
Updates to the app and autoscale settings will be rejected while in maintenance mode.
An alert will be displayed throughout the app, as a reminder that maintenance mode is enabled:
Disabling maintenance mode
Visit the same page to edit the app again, and toggle maintenance mode “Off”:
Judoscale will resume autoscaling for the app, and attempt to scale the worker processes with autoscaling enabled back to their previous scale values.
🚨 Warning
In case there’s any error from the platform trying to scale the processes down or up, maintenance mode will still be enabled/disabled, and we’ll ask you to review the scaling.
