autoskaling
Autoskaling, or autoscaling, is the automatic adjustment of computing resources in response to changing demand. It is used to maintain application performance while controlling costs in cloud environments, data centers, and distributed systems.
A typical autoskaling system comprises three parts: monitoring, decision logic, and actuation. The monitoring component collects
There are two main scaling directions: horizontal scaling, which changes the number of instances, and vertical
Common metrics used in autoskaling include CPU utilization, memory usage, request latency, queue depth, and error
Benefits include improved performance, higher availability, and more efficient resource use. Challenges include properly tuning thresholds,
