Why

The self-hosting pages said the All-in-One does not scale at all. A reader asked whether it can be load-balanced and autoscaled, and had ruled it out for production because of that wording. A single container never scales itself, but several can run behind the customer's own load balancer, with their platform adding or removing containers.

What changed

  • Introduction, Platforms table: the All-in-One's Scaling cell reads "Add containers behind your own load balancer; each is one worker and one vocoder" instead of "None". The table is re-aligned; no other cell changed.
  • All-in-One, "What it cannot do": "A container does not scale itself: for more capacity, run more containers behind your own load balancer. To scale workers and vocoders separately, use the Kubernetes chart." The timestamp sentence moves up.
  • Requirements, GPU count: "More" now reads "adds throughput as more replicas or containers", which covers both platforms. It is clear that extra cards in a single container add nothing.

Testing

  • mint broken-links --check-anchors over developer-guide/self-hosting/*.mdx: no broken links.
  • Two reviewers checked the wording. One compared it against the All-in-One delivery guides; the other checked it for brevity. Their fixes are applied.

Follow-up outside this repo: the downloadable All-in-One guides in the toolkit still say "does not autoscale" and send higher throughput to Helm.

Walkthrough

The self-hosting documentation now describes the All-in-One appliance’s worker and vocoder configuration, container-based scaling, Kubernetes scaling options, and the throughput effect of adding GPUs.

Changes: Self-hosting scaling

Layer / File(s) Summary
Document deployment and throughput scaling
developer-guide/self-hosting/all-in-one.mdx, developer-guide/self-hosting/introduction.mdx, developer-guide/self-hosting/requirements.mdx
The All-in-One appliance runs one worker and one vocoder. The documentation describes adding containers behind a customer-managed load balancer, using Kubernetes to scale workers and vocoders separately, and adding GPUs to scale throughput.

Merge Risk: Low · up to 33b55

The scaling guidance is largely consistent, but the hardware table could lead customers to add GPUs without adding the containers needed for more throughput. Clarifying that scope is a small, localized correction; remaining merge risk is low.

Remove the unqualified throughput claim for All-in-One hosts.

The GPU-count row now says more GPUs "scales throughput" under the general Hardware table, which covers every platform. The All-in-One guide says a container runs one inference worker and one vocoder and does not scale itself. A reader who adds GPUs to one All-in-One container can expect higher throughput that does not occur. Restore the Kubernetes scope, or state that All-in-One capacity comes from more containers.

The pages said the All-in-One does not scale at all, which led readers
to rule it out for production. A container never scales itself, but
customers can run more of them behind their own load balancer. The
Kubernetes chart remains the way to scale workers and vocoders
separately.
