Under Provisioning vs Elastic Scaling

Developers should understand under provisioning when working in cloud environments, DevOps, or system administration to balance cost savings against performance risks, especially in scalable applications or during budget constraints meets developers should learn elastic scaling to build resilient and cost-effective applications that can handle traffic spikes (e. Here's our take.

Under Provisioning

Nice Pick

Developers should understand under provisioning when working in cloud environments, DevOps, or system administration to balance cost savings against performance risks, especially in scalable applications or during budget constraints

Pros

• It is particularly relevant for non-critical workloads, development/testing environments, or services with predictable low usage patterns, where occasional resource shortages are acceptable
• Related to: capacity-planning, cloud-computing

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Elastic Scaling

Developers should learn elastic scaling to build resilient and cost-effective applications that can handle traffic spikes (e

Pros

• Related to: cloud-computing, microservices

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Under Provisioning if: You want it is particularly relevant for non-critical workloads, development/testing environments, or services with predictable low usage patterns, where occasional resource shortages are acceptable and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Elastic Scaling if: You prioritize g over what Under Provisioning offers.

The Bottom Line

Under Provisioning wins

Developers should understand under provisioning when working in cloud environments, DevOps, or system administration to balance cost savings against performance risks, especially in scalable applications or during budget constraints
