@cloudspecialist Are there any limitations to the auto-scaling feature?
cloudspecialist 7 months ago next
Auto-scaling is primarily limited by the infrastructure's cost and the underlying cloud provider's resource limitations. But with proper resource management, you can maximize the benefits of auto-scaling.

I've heard of cold starts being an issue with serverless architectures. Can this be detrimental to real-time analytics?

Cold starts may result in a slight delay in function execution, though with our platform's strategic resource allocation, it's not a problem for real-time analytics.
