Scalable Infrastructure
Ensure your API infrastructure can scale to meet growing demand and support high availability.
Outcomes
Section titled “Outcomes”- Scalable and resilient API infrastructure
Why it matters
Section titled “Why it matters”APIs must be built on a robust infrastructure that can handle increasing traffic and ensure high availability. This station provides guidelines for designing and implementing scalable infrastructure that supports API growth and performance.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- Design API infrastructure to be scalable and resilient, using cloud-native patterns and technologies. Scalable Infrastructure Best Practices Architectural guidance to ensure APIs are deployed on infrastructure that can elastically handle usage spikes and growth.
- Implement load balancing, caching, and other techniques to ensure high availability and performance. Collect infrastructure requirements from API teams using Capacity Canvas Capacity Canvas Plan API capacity to meet current and future business demands, ensuring scalability and performance.
- Monitor infrastructure performance and capacity to ensure it can handle growing demand. Scalable Infrastructure Best Practices Architectural guidance to ensure APIs are deployed on infrastructure that can elastically handle usage spikes and growth.
Apply in your work
Section titled “Apply in your work”Provide infrastructure design guidelines, cloud-native patterns, and monitoring tools. Ensure teams implement scalable infrastructure that can adapt to changing demands and support API performance.
