‘The myth behind cloud autoscaling for ecommerce sites’ – Econsultancy
Mike Bainbridge says, “It is 2016 and almost a decade since Amazon launched its all-conquering AWS public cloud service.
Infrastructure hosting as we once knew it, has been reduced to a commodity purchase. If you want to host a website or online application, it has never been easier.
Building a highly scalable, fully redundant environment can be done in minutes, using either a browser or one of hundreds of automation tools.
While infrastructure is boring, it is still an essential foundation of any platform.
For online retailers, things have never been better. Ecommerce sites can take full advantage of a wide range of technology solutions. The nirvana of website hosting is an achievable reality.
At the heart of it is automated scaling. A drop in website performance is detected (usually due to an increase in traffic) and more cloud instances are deployed”.
