Scaling up API Gateway
You must add a new API Gateway node to scale up API Gateway and handle the spike.
To scale up API Gateway,
1. You can scale up API Gateway by simply adding a new API Gateway node to the existing cluster.
For information on adding nodes to a cluster, see API Gateway Cluster Configuration.
2. Add the node to Load balancer for the traffic to be distributed across the nodes.
Note:
Ensure that the new API Gateway node has same configurations as other nodes in the cluster.
API Gateway is scaled up, and the transactions are now distributed among the nodes.
