render-scaling
Scales Render services—configures autoscaling targets, chooses instance compute plans, sets manual instance counts, and optimizes cost. Use when the user needs to handle more traffic, set up autoscaling, pick the right compute plan, reduce costs, or troubleshoot scaling behavior like slow scale-down or stuck instances.
Install
With your agent
Install OMGSkills skill "render-oss/render-plugin-claude-code:skills/render-scaling" into this agent's normal skills directory: call the OMGSkills MCP get_install_plan tool for your agent and run the script it returns (it installs only the pinned commit and verifies SKILL.md), and stop if MCP or the pin is unavailable. Do not overwrite or change existing skills without asking me.
Manual command
git clone https://github.com/render-oss/render-plugin-claude-code /tmp/render-plugin-claude-code && ln -s /tmp/render-plugin-claude-code/skills/render-scaling ~/.claude/skills/render-scalingFrom README
Render Scaling This skill covers how to scale Web Services, Private Services, and Background Workers on Render: manual instance counts, autoscaling with a Pro workspace or higher, compute plan choices, and platform limits. Deeper guidance lives under references/. When a service has or might need an attached disk, read references/persistent-disks.md before choosing a scaling architecture. When to Use Setting or changing instance count (Dashboard, CLI, API, or Blueprint) Configuring autoscaling (min/max, CPU and memory targets) Choosing vertical (plan) vs horizontal (more instances) scaling Understanding constraints (disks, static sites, cron/workflows, 100-instance cap) Cost implications of running more or larger instances Blueprint fields: numInstances, scaling, plan Manual Scaling Set instance count from 1 to 100 via the Dashboard, CLI, or API. All instances share the same compute plan; you cannot mix plans on one service.
