Static scaling refers to the process of adjusting the resources of a system to meet a fixed demand. This means that the capacity of servers or other components is increased or decreased based on anticipated needs, but these changes are not dynamic. For example, a company may add more servers during peak times, but these servers remain in place even when demand decreases. In contrast to dynamic scaling, which automatically adjusts resources in real-time, static scaling requires manual intervention. This approach can be simpler to manage but may lead to inefficiencies if resources are not optimally utilized. Organizations often use static scaling for predictable workloads, such as those seen in seasonal businesses.
