Autoscaling

The CLOWD9 platform autoscales to ensure an optimized resource usage strategy; there is no need to run an infrastructure capable of handling peak transaction loads at all time.

Employing Infrastructure as Code via Terraform scripts, and thanks the size (approximately 8 megabytes) of images to be deployed, the addition of processing resources to increase the transaction processing capacity of the CLOWD9 platform happens in seconds.

CLOWD9 uses Grafana as the monitoring tool for the system’s processing bandwidth enabling the system to scale up preventively as transaction load is building up supporting processing spikes etc, and returning the system capacity as the transaction load is returning to normal levels.

The flexibility allows for optimizing resource usage as well as supporting CLOWD9's ESG goals.
