Many teams assume they need load balancing and auto scaling from day one, without identifying the type of load their application can handle. Most applications start much simpler and because traffic patterns evolve over time, the real challenge is knowing when your architecture actually needs to scale.
In this talk, we’ll explore how to recognize the signals that your app needs load balancing and how to scale safely on AWS without over engineering. Through real scenarios, load tests and a live demo, we’ll see how tools like Elastic Load Balancing and Auto Scaling help systems stay reliable when traffic suddenly grows.
