This is really great! I'm interested in trying this out for our products in place of OpsWork.

The documentations says "by default provisions an Elastic Load Balancer and 3 t2.small instances", is it possible to change the number/size of servers dynamically?

This was recently added by a contributor!

You can update an existing cluster using something like `convox system scale --count 5 --type c4.xlarge` from the CLI. If you change the instance type your cluster will be rolled one at a time with no downtime.

That's great. Is it possible to add additional servers after installation? I looked into the CLI project but I haven't found anything yet, the scale option appears to be for processes not servers.

Woops, I ninja-edited my comment above before I saw this. Yes you can do this, see the CLI command above.
