Auto Scaling / Dynamic server specs


Avatar

I'd like to make a feature request for dynamic auto-scaling. So the server capacity (memory/cpu/bandwith) dynamically scales with the demand.

Usecase: sites that deal with sudden big spikes in traffic. Think sites that get feautured on big news outlets or TV stations.

Benefit: guanteed server capacity for reasonable costs. So the server is guaranteed to handle the traffic spikes without having to pay for an expensive beefy server every day of the year.

Many providers offering kubernetes now. Making a WordPress focused auto-scaling stack with kubernetes on providers which provide, Vultr, GCP etc.

Yes please! I've had to move 2 clients over to a Jelastic cloud host, but I'd prefer to keep everything with Gridpane on open source software.

YES! Would be great to offer similar specs as convesio where the server is able to auto scale as demand is needed. Believe this could be done with GCP Kubernetes and/or App Engine - I'm guessing there are others.

Cool idea. I wonder what the reboot time (= downtime) would be, and it depends how we can setup the triggers

Should be NO downtime. GridPane needs to support containers.

containers = immutable code deployment? I'm curious about the mechanism and the fact that it may trigger when people are updating the content, or even the CMS itself
