the load balance I got at the above url is only for droplets.
To assign a Droplet to a load balancer instance, send a POST request to /v2/load_balancers/$LOAD_BALANCER_ID/droplets
Does it work for horizontal scale apps also?

Hi there,
Load balancing is a built-in part of how App Platform works, meaning you don’t need to enable or configure it:
https://docs.digitalocean.com/products/app-platform/concepts/load-balancer/
With the App Platform, you can scale your application horizontally by increasing the number of containers, or vertically by increasing the container size as described here:

Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
