An event-driven and lightweight proactive autoscaling architecture for cloud applications

Uttom Akash, P. Paul, A. Habib

International Journal of Grid and Utility Computing, 2023Vol. 14, No. 5, pp. 539-551

We design a lightweight auto-scaling architecture for cloud applications that scale resources proactively based on real-time demand patterns and SLA, achieving cost efficiency and a seamless user experience using MAPE loop and exponential smoothing algorithms.
