Scalability

We build APIs that scale

Every component of a modern cloud service, from networking to compute to the underlying data platform, must be fully redundant and elastically scalable. There is simply no excuse for anything less, so that's exactly what we built.

Everything Auto-Scales

Cloud platforms must be able to handle user load dynamically and flexibly. Vertical scaling is not a viable option when designing and building cloud platforms in today's day and age. It might work for a while, but inevitably, one of two things will be true;

  • either you'll be overprovisioning (and therefore overpaying), or
  • you'll be vulnerable to maxing out your capacity.

The good news, however, is that horizontal scaling can be implemented with relative ease these days, and we do that with every service that we build, whether self-hosted by our clients or managed and hosted by us on behalf of our them.

Every API we design and build is fully redundant and scales out automatically as load increases and scales back in when load dissipates; this includes networking infrastructure, compute infrastructure, and both storage capacity and compute infrastructure on the database platform. In addition, all system components are designed to remain fully functional and retain their highly available qualities during the scale-out and scale-in process.

Maximizing database performance

The APIs we design and build completely control how they leverage and maximise the underlying database.

This enables the system to automatically target secondary nodes within the database with read queries for resources that are not fast-moving or that do not have strong data consistency requirements. Reducing load on the primary node within the database has significant advantages to the system's overall performance, sizing requirements and cost-efficiency.

While this may sound complicated, the good news is that our framework handles it all, meaning no code needs to be written to gain this incredible capability.
