# 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

1. Navigate to the project overview page.
2. Click `...` menu on the right, and select **Rescale** 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.

On the **Re-scale the project** page, click **Custom** to customize the configuration.

| Node type               | RWUs options                                                       | Limit per project |
| :---------------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------- | :---------------- |
| **Streaming Node**      | 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64                                       | Up to 5           |
| **Serving Node**        | 1, 1.5, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 20, 24, 36, 48, 64                | Up to 5           |
| **Compactor Node**      | 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64                                 | Up to 5           |
| **Meta Node**           | 2, 4, 6, 12                                                        | Up to 3           |
| **Dedicated MetaStore** | 2 (Fixed size. Contact us via Slack if more resources are needed.) | /                 |
