Always fast. Always stable.
What’s included:

• L4/L7 load balancing (ALB/NLB, Azure LB, GCP LB), health checks, sticky-sessions.

• Horizontal/vertical auto-scaling (ASG, HPA/VPA) by CPU/RAM/QL.

• Scale-in/out policies, scheduler-based scaling.

• Integration with CDN/WAF, blue-green/canary deployments.

• Traffic surge protection, graceful shutdowns, circuit-breakers.

Deliverables:

• Scaling policy document, latency/error SLOs.

• Dashboard and alert set for SLA/traffic/peaks.

• Load-testing scripts and failover scenarios.

Process: workload modeling → LB/ASG setup → stress test → production.

Success metrics: availability ≥99.95%, p95 latency, error rate, cost/request.

Options: Auto-renew SSL/TLS, Geo-LB/Anycast, WAF rules against DDoS/OWASP Top 10.
