I want to design a microservice system. I see it this way. I send all requests to the spring-gateway-api.

Then he sends it to the service (let's call it order) But how can I dynamically increase/decrease the number of instances of the order service. What should I do if the sping-gateway-api service starts dying from the number of requests?

How are such issues resolved?

  • Scaling instances is typically handled by the platform your apps are running on – spencergibb Jul 10 '21 at 23:14
  • @spencergibb I don't understand. I have 1 instance. Let's say this application is in docker. How do I set its scalability ? – WBLord Jul 10 '21 at 23:28
  • Docker isn't a platform. Docker swarm, kubernetes, or hashicorp nomad are container management systems that do what you ask. – spencergibb Jul 11 '21 at 02:42

Scaling(I assume you mean horizontal) can be achieved by running more instances of order your service. In simple terms, it means to run multiple instances of your docker image. reference reference2

You can study more about circuit breaker design pattern. This type of issue can be resolved with circuit breaker.
