Scale

    Learn how to scale your Piglet Run resources up or down.

    Overview

    Piglet Run supports scaling:

    • Database: Adjust PostgreSQL resources
    • Storage: Expand disk capacity
    • Services: Scale service resources

    Quick Scale

    Scale database resources:

    pig scale db --cpu 4 --memory 8G

    Scale Database

    Increase Resources

    pig scale db --cpu 4 --memory 16G

    Adjust Connection Limits

    pig scale db --max-connections 200

    Configure Shared Buffers

    pig scale db --shared-buffers 4G

    Scale Storage

    Expand Disk

    pig scale storage --size 100G

    Add Storage Volume

    pig scale storage add --mount /data/extra --size 50G

    Scale Services

    VS Code Server

    pig scale service vscode --memory 4G

    JupyterLab

    pig scale service jupyter --memory 8G

    Resource Limits

    Example output:

    Service     CPU    Memory   Storage
---------   ----   ------   -------
PostgreSQL  2      4G       20G
VS Code     1      2G       -
Jupyter     1      2G       -
Nginx       0.5    512M     -

    Configuration

    Scale settings in /etc/piglet/resources.yml:

    resources:
  postgres:
    cpu: 2
    memory: 4G
    storage: 20G
  vscode:
    cpu: 1
    memory: 2G
  jupyter:
    cpu: 1
    memory: 2G

    Best Practices

    • Monitor resource usage before scaling
    • Scale gradually to avoid disruption
    • Test changes in development first
