# Scale a project manually

> After creating a project, you have the flexibility to scale its resources and capacity to meet your specific data processing and analysis needs. This can be achieved through two methods: increasing or decreasing the number of worker nodes (horizontal scaling) or adjusting the resource capacity of each node in the project (vertical scaling).

<Note>
  You can scale the projects created in the Standard plan and the Advanced plan. The Trial plan has a fixed number of nodes and resources.
</Note>

## Scale your project

To scale your project:

1. Navigate to the project details page.
2. Click **Configuration details** > **Re-scale** to access the scaling options.

## Configure node resources

When scaling, you will configure the vCPU numbers for each component, with the memory size automatically scaling at a 1:4 ratio with the vCPUs. The [RWU](/cloud/pricing/#risingwave-unit-rwu) numbers are calculated based on the vCPU and memory size.

* **Compute node**
  * RWU options: 2, 4, 8, 16
  * You can have between 1 to 5 compute nodes in a project.
* **Frontend node**
  * RWU options: 1, 2, 4
  * You can have between 1 to 5 frontend nodes in a project.
* **Meta node**
  * RWU options: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
  * Only one meta node is allowed per project.
* **Compactor node**
  * RWU options: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16
  * You can have up to 2 compactor nodes in a project.
