Just creating a microservice is not sufficient. We are doing all this for performance, which, in turn, is for a smooth user experience. We are doing this to increase the users on the platform. So, with an increasing number of users, scaling a microservice becomes important. The more users, the more scaling needed; better scaling gives a better user experience, which gives more users on a platform and moves us back to more scaling. With microservices, everything is more granular, including scalability and managing spikes in demand. No matter how you view the challenges of scalability for microservices, from the customer or end-user perspective, what matters is the performance of the app itself.
Let's take a step back. When it comes to scaling microservices, before doing any dynamic scaling, there are some key points to be thought of:
- Does infra support it: You need to know whether the infrastructure on which the system is working supports the dynamic scaling or not....
