Welcome to Infragrip
Infragrip is a cloud resource auto-scaler that connects business signals to infrastructure decisions. Instead of reacting only to CPU and memory, Infragrip lets you define what your business considers "busy" — and scales accordingly.
Key concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Plugin | A DLL loaded at runtime that participates in the Watcher cycle |
| Measurement plugin | Inspects resources and decides whether to scale |
| Control plugin | Connects to a cloud provider and executes scale actions |
| Activity | A pending scale action (Increase, Decrease, etc.) queued by a measurement plugin |
| Dry-run mode | Evaluates and queues activities without executing them — safe for testing |
| Simulator plugin | A drop-in replacement for a control plugin that simulates scale actions locally |
