Scaling up API Gateway

About this task

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.
