# Scale applications on Clouddley

Scaling an application on Clouddley is simple and efficient. Users can adjust the application's resources by using the **scaling slider** to increase or decrease capacity. Clouddley support a scaling capacity ranging from a minimum of 1 to a maximum of 50.\
To scale your application on Clouddley, follow these steps:

**Step 1:** Navigate to the application dashboard and select the application to open its **Overview** page.

**Step 2:** Click the **More Options** menu (**⋮**) in the top-right corner.

**Step 3:** From the menu, select **Scale** to scale the application.

**Step 4:** Adjust the slider value to scale as needed and then click on **Update**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.clouddley.com/apps/extras/scale-applications-on-clouddley.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
