Introducing VelvetScore
The single number that drives everything. Performance, scaling, and pricing.
VelvetScore is a composite performance metric from 0 to 100 that measures site health in real-time. It drives auto-scaling decisions and enables intelligent, usage-based pricing.
Handles light traffic. Shared resources. Suitable for development environments and low-traffic sites.
~500 req/s, ~200ms response. Moderate traffic blogs, portfolios, and small business sites.
~2,000 req/s, ~50ms response. High-traffic sites, e-commerce, media-heavy applications.
5,000+ req/s, ~15ms response. Enterprise-grade performance. Mission-critical workloads.
What Drives the Score
Intelligent Auto-Scaling
VelvetScore-driven scaling that responds to real performance, not just CPU.
Automatic Scale Up & Down
Fleet adjusts resources based on real-time performance metrics. Not CPU spikes — actual user experience.
Smart Safeguards
Built-in limits prevent runaway scaling. Cooldown periods. Budget caps. Never scale during transient traffic spikes.
Full Control
Set your target VelvetScore, resource limits, and max monthly spend. You're always in charge.
