Autoscale Your Django App The Right Way

Avoid downtime. Reduce hosting costs. Use request queue time to monitor your web servers and scale automatically.
$ pip install 'judoscale[django]'
You'll be autoscaling in minutes

Why autoscale your Django app?

Most Django apps are over-provisioned. You’re paying through the nose for resources you don’t need, but you do it because you’ve been burned with downtime.

Even worse, you still encounter downtime and slow-downs! Traffic is variable and sometimes unpredictable, so even your extra servers aren’t always enough.

Autoscaling is the solution here, and it’s pretty simple. We monitor the capacity of your Django app, and we scale your servers accordingly. You’ll never pay for resources you don’t need, and you’ll always have capacity to meet those sudden bursts of traffic.

What makes Judoscale different?

While most autoscalers rely on generic metrics like CPU or total response time, Judoscale monitors the request queue time in your Django app. Queue time is a way more reliable capacity metric that we’ve written about extensively, and we built our autoscaler with queue time in mind from the beginning.

We also give you a whole lot of control and visibility into your autoscaling that you won’t find elsewhere. Autoscaling is all we do, and we’ve been doing it for a long time.

I moved to Judoscale when the business got more serious. I wanted our customers to have quick response times and this was a really efficient way to do that.

We have a wide variance in both server load and response times, which makes trying to scale based on response time completely ineffective. Judoscale just works. We love it!

We had a few times with a spiked increase in load when we exhausted our request queue, resulting in downtime. Judoscale really alleviated that and allowed me to not have to think about it at all. It’s been fantastic so far.

The first step to a scalable web service is automatic autoscaling. Without autoscaling, you're just waiting for a flash sale, social media post, or other "white swan" event to take down your site at just the wrong moment.

Chameleon has been extremely stable thanks to Judoscale. We have very high spikes in traffic, and I don’t even have to think about it.

We could see the care in Judoscale’s documentation, the gems were well-documented and designed with a general sense of quality.
