For some time it was not possible to add new machines to clore.ai marketplace, what is happening and why is it possible not we will answer in this article.
Scaling solution
The problem was settlements of funds between the customer and hosting provider, our cloud GPU service is billed by minute to ensure our customers will pay for just the right amount of time they need the machine. The initial growth of machines on the platform was larger, than we expected so there was put a limit of 1000 machines on the platform to ensure proper functioning.
But it was clear to us that a scaling solution needs to be developed to larger platform growth.
As you can see, the new settlement system don't work on one single order at a time, which have required to make many database calls for every settlement, but is able to work on multiple orders at the same time, which makes it much faster and able to handle much more settlements
We have currently bumped the maximum machine count to 3000 and we are ready to go further. It is just for us to see, where new hosting providers will emerge, so we can add more forwarding nodes there and then we can go further up to tens of thousands of machines
