State-Driven Scaling Strategies
Moving beyond single-metric scaling toward contextual elasticity.

Scaling based on CPU alone is insufficient.
CPU spikes may not indicate demand.
Multi-Signal Scaling
Use composite evaluation:
Scaling becomes demand-driven, not panic-driven.
Feedback-Aware Scaling
After scaling:
Elasticity requires feedback integration.
Feedback Loops After Scaling
Scaling must adjust future evaluation thresholds.
Without recalibration, scaling logic drifts.
Elastic systems must continuously learn from execution outcomes.
Final Thought
Scaling is not about adding capacity.
It’s about aligning resources with real system state.
Contextual scaling preserves stability under growth.
