Summary
Designing a scalable architecture for high-traffic applications involves considering performance, availability, fault tolerance, and cost-effectiveness. Here's a structured approach.
- Monitoring & Observability - Logging: ELK Stack, Loki, or CloudWatch. - Metrics: Prometheus, Grafana. - Tracing: OpenTelemetry, Jaeger for distributed tracing. - Disaster Recovery (Data backups, failover mechanisms).
