Autoscaling Simulator

Increase request volume and observe instance count, latency, and cost adapting in real time.

Autoscaling interpretation

At 1000 req/s, autoscaling expands to 2 instances to keep latency near SLO boundaries. The model helps explain cost versus responsiveness tradeoffs.

Experience progression

1.Entered a live autoscaling model.

2.Interacted with load changes.

3.Understood SLO-pressure behavior under scale.

4.Perceived depth in capacity and cost engineering.
