"horizontal-scaler" missing on railway
Hi! We're being hit hard by a lot of traffic and our server is having trouble scaling. I wanted to use the 'horizontal-scaler' option described in the docs, but it's missing.
Anyone know why?

Referring to: https://blog.railway.app/p/horizontal-scaling
I just can't see it:
if you go to
settings there will be a option named "replicas".
just enter a number and railway will scale accordingly
btw, that link should be updated to reference the new replica featureit sounds like you are running a commercial product on railway, you should be on the teams plan
@Brody is that going to give us more resources?
We're actually in a pinch because we need more resources
we just started this to try it out and ended up scaling faster than we imagined we would

ok! and if i switch now is the transition seamless
create a team here
https://railway.app/new/team
drag your project into the team drop zone in the dashboard
one thats done, you redeploy your app and then it will have access to the team plan's resources!
To redeploy, do i just drag and drop it into the team?
ah ok!
does that cause any downtime?
(tysm π )
do you have a health check setup?
yeah
then yep zero downtime
