There was a problem hiding this comment.
The comment states "Limit to 50% of a CPU" but the actual value is '0.25' which limits to 25% of a CPU. The comment should say "Limit to 25% of a CPU" to match the configured value.

| ## Application Monitoring | ||
|
|
||
| freePaaS provides only basic monitoring tools out of the box to help you assess your container health. For more advanced monitoring, logging, and alerting capabilities, consider integrating third-party services such as [Sentry]. |

Spelling error: "asses" should be "assess".

| ### Scaling Horizontally | ||

| When your application outgrows the resources of a single server, you can just add a second one. Docker [Swarm mode](https://docs.docker.com/engine/swarm/) is low effort way to just add more servers to your PaaS. Setup takes minutes and freePaaS will automatically distribute your applications across the available servers. |

Grammar error: "is low effort way" should be "is a low-effort way" (missing article and hyphenation).
