Servers can get more requests than they can handle.

Too many requests can cause timeouts and outages.

AWS EC2 Auto Scaling allows you to add or remove EC2 instances automatically.

  • Predictive scaling: schedules the number of instances based on a predicted demand
  • Dynamic and Predictive scaling can be combined to scale faster
