Description: Deployment scaling refers to the process of adjusting the number of instances of an application during deployment. This process is fundamental in cloud computing environments, where resource demand can vary significantly over short periods. Scaling can be vertical, which involves increasing the resources of an existing instance, or horizontal, which consists of adding more instances of the application. The ability to scale efficiently allows organizations to optimize resource usage, improve availability, and ensure adequate performance under different workloads. Additionally, deployment scaling is essential for maintaining user experience, as it enables handling traffic spikes without interruptions. Today, many cloud platforms offer tools and services that facilitate auto-scaling, allowing applications to automatically adapt to changing environmental conditions. This feature not only reduces costs by avoiding over-provisioning of resources but also enhances application resilience by allowing them to dynamically adjust to business needs.
