What does it mean to deploy a Scalable Web App?
Deploying a scalable web app is building and launching an App that can manage increased traffic, user growth, or data demands without crashing.
What is Scalability in Cloud Computing?
- Handling traffic spikes: Your app can handle sudden surges in visitors or requests.
- Growing with users: Your app adjusts as more users sign up or data grows.
- Staying performant: Pages load fast, and features work smoothly.
Scalability is all about
Using cloud services (like Azure App Services!) that auto-adjust resources. Auto- scaling adjusts Resources base on traffic
Designing the app to distribute load (e.g., multiple servers) Load balancing distributes traffic across instances
Scaling out adds more instance as needed
