 ## Scaling
 
-Dokku allows you to run multiple process types at different container counts. For example, if you had an app that contained 1 web app listener and 1 background job processor, dokku will, by default, spin up 1 container for each process type defined in the Procfile. If you wanted 2 job processors running simultaneously, you can modify this behavior in a few ways.

For example, if you had an app that contained 1 web app listener and 1 background job processor, dokku can, spin up 1 container for each process type defined in the Procfile. By default we will only start the web process. However, if you wanted 2 job processors running simultaneously, you can modify this behavior in a few ways.
