App platform is great product. Switched from AWS and very happy

So it can handle horizontal scaling by creating extra nodes for running your code...but can it automate horizontal database scaling? i.e. Replicating the contents of a master db across slave dbs so many users can hit the db?

No nodejs rest api using typescript? can't find any documentation.

Hi...I wanna ask..
Why does it take 4-5 minutes for this service to deploy (pull code) from Github every time?
Does it take that long to pull the code?
I see every time the code is loaded, the server always does a "composer install". Are you experiencing the same thing?
Thanks
