As your firm’s caseload grows, you can scale the Scoutline ecosystem horizontally to maintain “Interface Craft” performance. We provide guides for the three primary orchestration methods.

​
Docker & Compose Scaling

For smaller to medium-sized firms, Docker Compose provides a robust and simple way to scale the sc-agent service to handle multiple concurrent jobs. 
docker compose up -d --scale sc-agent=4
  • Best for: Firms with single-node or small multi-node (Swarm) deployments.
  • Complexity: Low.

​
Kubernetes (K8s) Guide

For Enterprise firms utilizing Kubernetes (EKS, GKE, or on-premise K8s), we provide a Helm Chart to manage the Scoutline perimeter.

​
Key Features

  • Auto-scaling (HPA): Dynamically adding sc-agent pods based on real-time CPU/Memory pressure from drafting jobs.
  • Node Affinity: Ensure critical legal processing pods run on hardened, security-optimized nodes.
  • High Availability: Automated failovers across multiple worker nodes.
helm install scoutline-perimeter ./scoutline-hc -n legal-os

​
AWS Containers Guide (ECS & EKS)

Scoutline is designed to be a “native resident” of the AWS ecosystem. We provide specialized CloudFormation and Terraform templates for both ECS (Elastic Container Service) and EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service).

​
ECS (Fargate or EC2)

  • Managed Perimeters: Use ECS to run Scoutline containers without managing the underlying EC2 instances.
  • IAM Integration: Bind specific AWS IAM roles directly to your sc-agent tasks for secure S3 Vault access.

​
EKS (Managed Kubernetes)

  • Enterprise Standard: Use the Scoutline Helm chart on EKS to leverage the power of Kubernetes with the reliability of AWS-managed control planes.
  • Global Reach: Scale your EKS clusters across multiple availability zones and regions with ease.
