You can also access the Instance hostname and delete the Instance from this modal.

Instance type

While the Instance type you choose will determine the compute and memory available to your Instance. When you hit the 0.25 vCPU / 512MB memory free tier limit, you can upgrade your plan to a higher tier using this option.

First, select the Instance type option which will open a modal to select the tier you want to upgrade to as shown below. Depending on the tier you choose, and the resources you have allocated, you will be billed accordingly.

Note

In beta, you can only have 1 compute node. Customising compute nodes will be available soon.

The number of compute nodes you choose will determine the number of Instances you can run on the same plan. For example, if you choose 2 compute nodes, you can run 2 Instances on the same plan.

Instance capabilities

The capabilities you choose will determine the features available to your Instance. This includes scripting, guest access, enabled endpoints for RPC and HTTP and more.

Important

In beta, these Instance capabilities are read-only.
