  1. Vertical scalability on premises
  2. Vertical scalability in the OutSystems Cloud

On-premises and cloud installations of OutSystems enable organizations to scale the computing power of front-ends and databases to:  

  • Better support developers as a team grows.
  • Temporarily increase the computing power of front-ends, in order to finish processing computation-intensive jobs.
  • Enhance the processing power of the database as an application portfolio grows in order to handle an increased load.

Vertical scalability on premises


If you have an on-premises installation of OutSystems, you can scale vertically as needed.
