This is the archetypal use case for cloud services - most retailers (now at least, they didn't use to), have some kind of autoscaling switched on and I'd imagine this is the same.
- maxxxxx 9y agoI have never dealt with cloud services autoscaling. Does it really work seamlessly or will it take time to scale up? Let's say I have a system that has 10 users/day and suddenly I have 10 million for some reason. Does AWS handle this (as long as my credit card can handle it) or will there be outages while AWS is scaling up?
- billhendricksjr 9y agoI’m not an engineer, but the best ones I’ve worked with have stated that autoscaling ain’t easy to architect right.
- kristianc 9y agoNot easy to architect right but the savings in license from not having to run at peak capacity all year often justify it.
