Scalr

Scalr is an open source cloud management tool that greases the wheels on web applications. You can think of us as a little sysadmin robot that monitors your servers.

We provide automation to our clients’ operations so that they can enjoy a smooth ride over that sudden spike in traffic. And we’re smart about it too: when load increases, the robot adds server capacity; when load decreases, it powers down a few machines. It even takes backups and stores them on S3 and provides a whole bunch of other utilities—ranging from cron to raid volumes—that makes your ops more productive, whether it's just you or a whole team.

Scalr comes fully equipped to handle web ops with features such as auto-scaling, high availability, fault tolerance, backups, multi-cloud deployments, and hybrid cloud bursting.

When to use

Project launch

When you're ready to launch, Scalr will provision all the resources from the Cloud for a smooth product launch, even if a million users sign up the first day.

High Growth

Scaling websites is hard and expensive. Using the power of Cloud Computing, Scalr automatically scales your website infrastructure: it scales your database, scales your app servers, and even adds and configures load balancing and caching servers!

Fault-tolerance, backups, uptime, and efficiency

Scalr provides you with a high uptime, fault-tolerant website: Scalr monitors all your servers for crashes, and replaces any that fail. It backups your data at regular intervals, and uses Amazon EBS for database storage. And to make sure you never pay more than you should, Scalr lowers costs by decommissioning servers when load subsides.
