AUTOMATIC SCALING OF MICROSERVICES BASED ON PROJECTED DEMAND

摘要

The system, method, and computer program product described herein provide automatic scaling of resources allocated to microservices based on projected demand data received from consumers of the microservices. In an aspect of the present disclosure, a method for scaling up or down a capacity allocated to a microservice is disclosed. The method includes receiving projected demand data for a microservice from a plurality of consumers, aggregating the projected demand data together, calculating a total projected demand for the microservice for a future period of time based on the aggregated projected demand data, and determining, based at least in part on the total projected demand, whether to scale up or scale down a capacity allocated to the microservice for the future period of time.
