Auto Scaling with Core dna
As digital marketers aim to optimize website performance, traffic handling, and resource utilization, auto scaling with Core dna emerges as a pivotal feature to accommodate these goals. Core dna’s architecture adapts effortlessly to changing demands, ensuring optimal performance at all times.
How Auto Scaling Works with Core dna
Core dna integrates auto scaling within its cloud infrastructure, allowing the platform to automatically adjust computational resources in response to traffic loads. When website traffic increases, the system scales up its resources, providing additional servers to handle the extra load efficiently. Conversely, during low traffic periods, it scales down, ensuring resource usage remains cost-effective.
Key Benefits for Marketers
- Cost Efficiency: Only pay for the resources needed at any given time.
- Improved Performance: Maintain seamless user experience during high-traffic events.
- Reliability: Automatic adjustments prevent downtime due to server overload.
- Focus on Strategy: Marketers can focus on campaigns without worrying about technical constraints.

Practical Use Case
Consider an e-commerce company launching a major marketing campaign that anticipates a significant increase in website visitors. With Core dna's auto scaling, the site can handle surges in traffic without downtime or degraded performance, ensuring every potential customer can browse and purchase without interruption. Once the campaign ends, auto scaling reduces resources, aligning operational costs with normal traffic levels.
Implementation Example
To implement auto scaling with Core dna, a marketer or IT manager would configure scaling policies via the Core dna dashboard. They set thresholds for CPU usage and specify timing for scaling based on expected campaign timelines. As the campaign unfolds, the system dynamically allocates resources, offering real-time insights into performance metrics and cost implications.
