Description: Endpoint scaling refers to the process of dynamically adjusting the number of instances of a service or application in the cloud to handle user requests based on demand. This approach allows organizations to optimize resource usage, ensuring that there are enough endpoints available to handle traffic spikes without incurring unnecessary costs during low-demand periods. Scaling can be vertical, where the capacity of an existing instance is increased, or horizontal, which involves adding more instances. The ability to automatically scale is fundamental in cloud environments, as it allows applications to adapt to traffic fluctuations efficiently. This not only improves user experience by reducing wait times and increasing availability but also contributes to economic sustainability by allowing businesses to pay only for the resources they actually use. In a world where applications must be highly available and scalable, endpoint scaling has become an essential practice for cloud infrastructure strategies.
