Do i need to create a cluster to have an autoscaling DB ?
By default, the shared clusters will scale fine. If you have more serious needs, and require isolation, then dedicated clusters provide a more cost effective option for high traffic requirements. If your usage is pretty steady, an non-autoscaling cluster is best, because you can just pick what you need. If you require true autoscaling, where the cluster itself changes based on load (volatile, unknown traffic) that an autoscaling cluster is best. Xata allows you to move branches between each option once you have them set up, so it's pretty easy to move things around if you need.

Yes. Autoscaling is an option of creating a cluster. Beyond that, clusters provide better isolation and performance. You can read the gist here. https://xata.io/docs/dedicated-cluster
