Why keeping CPU at 30% might NOT be waste of money? Sep 9, 2018 What does maximum-connections, CPU autoscaling, money and distributed systems have in common? Find out. --------------------------------------------------------------------- How do you know the right maximum connections? Jul 7, 2018 How do you know the right maxThreads (Tomcat/Java) or maxConnections (IIS/.NET) for your application? What is it? Why do I need to set that? --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Auto) scaling services by CPU? You are doing it wrong Apr 4, 2018 Bob is a very successful guy. He is auto scaling his service by automatically adding hosts when the CPU increases, and he is removing them when CPU goes down. Dear Bob, there is a trap waiting for you around the corner. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 39 posts found
