Yes, Elasticsearch supports Autoscaling.

On-cloud, [https://cloud.elastic.co/](https://cloud.elastic.co/), check [Deployment autoscaling | Elasticsearch Service Documentation | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-autoscaling.html).

On-premise, check [Autoscaling | Elasticsearch Guide [8.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/xpack-autoscaling.html).

If you deploy on k8s, check [Elasticsearch autoscaling | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes [2.14] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-autoscaling.html).
