Also known as: autoscaling, elastic capacity

Last updated August 9, 2026

Definition

Auto scaling automatically adds or removes compute capacity based on demand — more servers during peaks, fewer when quiet — to balance performance and cost.

Real-World Example

A ticket site may auto-scale web servers when a popular on-sale event spikes traffic.
