Scaling
- Independence of resources
- Our software architecture is designed for high availability and scalability, utilising service design and containerisation to ensure robust performance. By deploying our applications on AWS, Atlas and Azure, we leverage their auto-scaling and load balancing capabilities, which dynamically adjust computing resources based on user demand. This ensures that each service can scale independently without affecting others. Our architecture includes resource isolation mechanisms, such as using separate containers and threads and job scheduling, to prevent any user’s load from impacting others. These architectural decisions are fundamental in maintaining service efficiency and reliability, even during peak loads
