Fluid compute

Burst and elasticity settings for dynamic workloads.

Last updated: 2026-03-17

Fluid compute lets workloads scale based on demand.

When to use

Spiky traffic
Background tasks
APIs with unpredictable bursts

What to monitor

Cold starts
Request latency
Scale events

Safe usage pattern

Enable fluid compute in non-prod first.
Define min/max boundaries to avoid runaway scaling.
Monitor first 24 hours for burst behavior.
Tune thresholds using observed metrics, not assumptions.

Troubleshooting

Scaling happens too late

Lower trigger thresholds or increase minimum warm capacity.

Cost spikes during bursts

Review burst limits and apply stricter max boundaries.
