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 3Billed 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-westBilling: 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 toriiUpgrading an Existing Deployment
Tiers can only be upgraded, not downgraded:
slot d update --tier epic my-instance toriiThe team that owns the deployment must have sufficient credits.
