In the rapidly evolving world of cloud computing, managing resource scalability in response to service demand has emerged as a critical challenge. To address this challenge, we developed Smart Scaler, a tool designed to automate infrastructure and application resource scaling. By predicting service demand in advance, Smart Scaler ensures that resources are precisely aligned with needs, optimizing both performance and cost.
The idea for Smart Scaler came out of my experience running SaaS platforms. Over the years, I’ve collaborated closely with various teams to ensure systems function properly. I’ve also led a Cloud Ops team whose primary responsibility was to ensure that systems consistently met the service-level objectives while keeping the cost of the cloud services aligned with the cost of sales. However, this presented a significant friction point in current operating models.
