If you want to respond to higher load with more instances instead of a more powerful server, you typically need stateless applications. Horizontal scaling, whether in the cloud or with multiple servers, virtual machines, Kubernetes pods, or containers, creates the elasticity and resilience that business applications need – especially in the cloud, where every component needs to be replaceable in the event of failure and where elasticity ensures cost reductions without performance loss. Hardly any application can do without a database to store data and ensure consistency, even with concurrent transactions.
