```
Usage: scale [SERVICE=NUM...]
```
Sets the number of containers to run for a service.
Numbers are specified as arguments in the form `service=num`. For example:
docker-compose scale web=2 worker=3
>**Tip:** Alternatively, in
[Compose file version 3.x](/compose/compose-file/index.md), you can specify
[`replicas`](/compose/compose-file/index.md#replicas)
under [`deploy`](/compose/compose-file/index.md#deploy) as part of the
service configuration for [Swarm mode](/engine/swarm/).
