Cloud services platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP are reshaping how organizations deliver value to their customers, making cloud migration an increasingly attractive option for running applications. In case of a spike in traffic, you can automatically spin up more resources, often in a matter of seconds.

Latency – How much time does it take to deliver a packet from A to B. For example, processing of web application firewall (WAF) rules, detecting bots or other malicious traffic though security services, and growing in popularity, edge compute.

Monitoring systems are a critical part of any highly available system, as they are needed to detect failures and report whether users are impacted, then report whether the problem has gone away. When auto-scaling is used monitoring is also part of a critical feedback loop. Thanks to Cindy Sridharan for review feedback on this post.

This separation allows us to tune system configuration and scaling policies independently for different event priorities and traffic patterns.
