# Neon console: enable autoscaling on a compute

## Steps
1. Select the branch from the project/branch menu at the top of the sidebar.
2. Under Postgres database, select Computes.
3. Click Edit next to the compute to configure.
4. In the Edit compute drawer, select Autoscale.
5. Use the slider to set a minimum and maximum compute size, then save.

## End state
Neon scales the compute within the chosen range (0.25 to 16 CU) to meet demand; the gap between minimum and maximum cannot exceed 8 CU. Each CU is roughly 4 GB RAM (1 CU ≈ 4 GB, 2 CU ≈ 8 GB, etc.).
