Slot Scale

Scale deployments from development to production with paid tiers, replicas, and multi-region.

Instance Tiers

Tier	Specs	Storage	Cost
Basic	Limited CPU & memory	1GB	$10/month
Pro	2 vCPU, 4GB RAM	auto	$50/month
Epic	4 vCPU, 8GB RAM	auto	$100/month
Legendary	8 vCPU, 16GB RAM	auto	$200/month

First 3 Basic tier deployments are free. Storage on premium tiers: $0.20/GB/month (auto-scaling).

Basic tier behavior

• Scaled down automatically after a few hours of inactivity
• Revived on first request
• Deleted if unused for 30+ days

Premium tiers (Pro+)

• Never scaled down or deleted while the team has credits
• Auto storage scaling (never runs out of disk space)

Replicas

Torii supports multiple replicas on premium tiers:

slot d create --tier epic my-project torii --replicas 3

Billed per replica (3 replicas = 3× tier cost). Katana does not support replicas.

Regions

Region
us-east
europe-west

Deploy in multiple regions with --regions:

# Torii: multi-region with replicas
slot d create --tier pro my-project torii --regions us-east,europe-west

# Katana: single region only
slot d create --tier pro my-project katana --regions europe-west

Billing: tier cost × regions × replicas.

Creating Paid Tier Deployments

Ensure the team has credits (see slot-teams skill), then:

slot d create --tier epic --team my-team my-instance torii

Upgrading an Existing Deployment

Tiers can only be upgraded, not downgraded:

slot d update --tier epic my-instance torii

The team that owns the deployment must have sufficient credits.
