Welcome to Scalr's Documentation!
Welcome to Scalr's documentation site. You will find all the information you need to start using Scalr here. From farms to roles, scripts, environments, and even chef, we have articles for every Scalr feature and concept. Our documentation is divided in eight parts:
| Five Minute Quick Start | New to Scalr? Just created your account? Everything you need to get set up and begin using Scalr can be found right here! |
|---|---|
| Scalr Interface | All the information you could fathom about the User interface is here. |
| Scalr Essentials | For users who have setup their account with an up and running farm, looking for additional information about Scalr's features |
| Managing Scalr | Learn all about Environments, Teams, Users and how to use Scalr's API. |
| Tutorials | Knowledge base and tutorials |
| Roadmap | Take a guess at what this corresponds to! |
| Open-Source Installation | Find instructions to download and install Open source Scalr. |
| About | Learn all about Scalr's vision and motivation and why you should use it over the competition. |
Our documentation is currently being redesigned to improve the Scalr experience. If you are having trouble finding a specific topic or require further assistance in using the application, please contact our support team. |
Feel free to make any changes to the documentation. If you would like to see a page added to the documentation, shoot us an email and we'll do our best to write it down! |
