I have some tables that I do a lot of updates, deletes and inserts.
So I am worried that my cluster can grow up to a huge size...
The best option would be to create a scheduled process to check if it is bloated and if so, reindex?

Well, so I need to do reindex frequentely in database? Is that right?---------------------
Or should I use cluster, as David said?
How frequently should I do this operation?
Not necessarily.
If there is no table or index bloat, which you should be able to check first, - why bother?
Normally autovacuum does pretty good job even with default configuration parameters.
If not, you could start with adjusting autovacuum parameters.
And reindex only as a last resort, when your index size grows "uncontrollably".
