auto-scaling
Capacity adjusts automatically
Auto-scaling is the automatic adjustment of computing resources based on demand.
When traffic to a website or application increases, auto-scaling adds servers or processing power; when demand drops, it reduces them.
This keeps systems responsive during peak loads while avoiding waste during quiet periods: We configured auto-scaling to handle Black Friday traffic without paying for extra capacity year-round.
