A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888712B1) discloses a traffic routing and infrastructure scaling system that involves a processor and a computer-readable medium with instructions for receiving incoming customer requests, determining traffic redirect and regional scale quotients, and automatically redirecting customer requests to a secondary partner region based on these quotients. The system also involves modules for monitoring infrastructure metrics, calculating traffic load breaches, and assessing application errors to make informed decisions on routing and scaling operations. Additionally, the patent describes the establishment of minimum infrastructure scaling requirements for the secondary partner region based on various factors such as automatic scaling usage, leading errors, and CPU, memory, and network utilization.

Furthermore, the patent details a method for traffic routing and infrastructure scaling that includes similar operations as the system, such as determining traffic redirect and regional scale quotients, monitoring infrastructure metrics, and uploading relevant data to a cache for decision-making processes. The method emphasizes the importance of considering critical errors, health check failures, and resource utilization thresholds when determining the percentage of customer requests to redirect and infrastructure scaling needed. It also highlights the retrieval of infrastructure-related metrics from the cache to inform routing and scaling decisions. Overall, the patent aims to optimize traffic routing and infrastructure scaling processes by leveraging data-driven insights and automated recommendations to enhance system performance and efficiency.
