3.1 Scaling Microservice Instances
These techniques address scaling a single microservice and integrating its instances.
Microservices allow deploying instances in a replicated way in order to scale horizontally to individually cope with varying levels of load on each microservice (L59, L21, L20).
Microservice Characteristic
The distinguishing microservice characteristic is the (horizontal) scalability. The main focus is designing a microservice for scalability and integrating the instances at runtime.
