Automatic Scaling
Would be nice if we had an auto scaling feature where the server would automatically upgrade to the next level in the event a site is posted on a news site or all of a sudden got a rush of traffic.
Example the server load is 85% the system knows to upgrade. The downtime for an upgrade on Amazon is about 5-10 mins. That's better than having your site down for an hour because the server is overloaded.
Kyup is now live from Cloudways. Automated scaling up is available. Scaling down is not automated by now, but we are working with Kyup to make it a reality asap.

I'm seeing that Kyup does this and the rules are really simple. If cloudways and kyup had a baby, I'd adopt it in a heartbeat. :-)

That's a valid idea to offer as an option (that users could enable/disable at server level). AWS scale times are pretty quick (even lower than what you mention), issue is that with DO it can take much longer, so it is a infrastructure provider specific feature, something we try to stay away from.
In any case, we keep an open mind.
