Description: Synchronous scaling is a cloud scaling method that allows computational resources to be adjusted in real-time based on user demand. Unlike asynchronous scaling, where changes in resources may not be reflected immediately, synchronous scaling responds instantly to fluctuations in workload. This approach is crucial for applications that require consistent and efficient performance, such as online services during demand fluctuations. The main features of synchronous scaling include the ability to continuously monitor resource usage, the implementation of scaling policies that determine when and how resources should be adjusted, and integration with infrastructure management tools that facilitate the automation of these processes. The relevance of synchronous scaling lies in its ability to optimize costs and enhance user experience, ensuring that services are always available and functioning optimally, regardless of changing traffic conditions.
