“Scaling is queue management. Queues ensure availability (no one is rejected when resources are busy), but create latency (waiting). Scaling is about ensuring both high availability and low latency, while minimizing cost. ”

All about queue time

Most autoscalers rely on generic metrics like CPU or memory, but queue time is the true measure of server capacity. Judoscale was built for queue time from the beginning.

Job queues, too!

Queue time isn’t just for web services. Judoscale also uses queue latency to autoscale your background workers, making sure your job queues never back up.

The fastest autoscaler

A capacity issue needs to trigger autoscaling as quickly as possible, and Judoscale is the fastest autoscaler available. Our autoscaling algorithm runs every 10 seconds, ensuring your app scales up before users notice an issue.

Reduce your hosting costs

Most Ruby applications are way overscaled, and Judoscale can help. Our precision autoscaling algorithm lets you scale down without sacrificing performance or peace of mind.

Customize your autoscale behavior

Every Ruby app is different, and Judoscale gives you complete control. You can scale by multiple instances at a time and tweak the frequency of scaling. Each process is configured independently with a few simple sliders.

Judoscale’s deep integration with Sidekiq queues let us easily tag which queues we wanted a faster response. We were able to tune our scaling sensitivity for exactly our usage pattern of intermittent batches of large jobs.

If I was the king of the world, I would make it illegal to horizontally scale based on execution time. Scale based on queue depths, people!

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.
