Scaling Microservices

As we have discussed in the previous chapters, one of the advantages of the microservice architecture is the capability to be able to scale independently. This will prove to be an excellent asset when we create an application that will use the benefits of cloud computing. In modern architectures, we are no longer attached to a static infrastructure. We deploy our microservices in a cloud, which gives the flexibility to have an optimal number of the instances of our microservices to match our needs, and we build Cloud-Native microservices to smoothly work on those clouds. We discussed this in Chapter 6, Create Cloud-Native Microservices. You may want to read it again as a refresher for some of the concepts used in this chapter. Having a Cloud-Native microservice requires having a cloud that allows us to manage how we can actually scale them, and how we can...
