Scaling is the process which enables load balancing by running multiple instances of a service (container).In any of the existing orchestration platforms, scaling can be done either automatically or manually. But, both approaches require some sort of administration deciding when a microservice needs to scale. This article introduces an autonomous scaling method driven by OS system calls without the need for external interference .MotivationAutonomy is one of the main principles of microservices architecture, and is essential for building agile ecosystems. In an agile ecosystem, along with agility in #development, microservices (...)
