# Dynamic scaling infrastructure

> Scalable and flexible infrastructure that grows with your needs.

Dynamic scaling infrastructure automatically scales search and indexing resources as demand changes.

If you're on Algolia's **Elevate** plan
(see [Pricing](https://www.algolia.com/pricing/)),
dynamic scaling infrastructure hosts your application.
Some services need specific hosting,
such as [AWS Marketplace](https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/billing/marketplaces/amazon-web-services.md).
For those, Algolia hosts your application (An Algolia application is a self-contained environment with its own indices, configuration, and API keys. Applications don't share data or settings with each other.) on that platform instead.
Otherwise, Algolia picks the best infrastructure for your application and
may migrate it to dynamic scaling infrastructure later.

## Scalability

Dynamic scaling infrastructure scales automatically as demand changes.
Search and indexing resources can scale independently.
With [classic infrastructure](https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/scaling/infrastructure/classic/servers-clusters.md),
scaling requires assistance from Algolia's [support team](https://support.algolia.com/hc/en-us/requests/new).

## Access to new features

Some features, like [NeuralSearch](https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/ai-relevance/neuralsearch/get-started.md),
require dynamic scaling infrastructure.

## Limitations

Dynamic scaling infrastructure doesn't support all features available on classic infrastructure.
For example:

* [**Distributed Search Network (DSN)**](https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/scaling/infrastructure/classic/distributed-search-network-dsn.md)
