Elastic Systems for Real-World Load
Auto-scaling dynamically adjusts resources, while load balancing distributes traffic to avoid bottlenecks and failures.
“Scalable systems adapt, they don’t break under pressure.”

- Horizontal Scaling: Add or remove instances dynamically based on traffic.
- Vertical Scaling: Increase resource allocation to existing servers when needed.
- Load Balancers: Distribute requests evenly, prevent single points of failure.
- Health Checks: Ensure traffic only goes to healthy instances.
“Automate scaling — human reaction is too slow to keep systems reliable.”
