Scaling Your Agentic Systems
As your business grows, your AI agentic systems need to scale with it. This guide covers everything you need to know about scaling effectively.
Planning for Scale
Before scaling, consider:
- Expected load increases
- Resource requirements
- Cost implications
- Performance targets
Scaling Strategies
Horizontal Scaling
Add more instances to handle increased load. This is often the most cost-effective approach.
Vertical Scaling
Increase the resources available to each instance. Useful for compute-intensive workflows.
Best Practices
- Start with horizontal scaling
- Monitor resource usage closely
- Implement auto-scaling where possible
- Test your scaling strategy before you need it
