US Patent 11281510 Intelligent scaling in microservice-based distributed systems

In an approach to intelligent scaling in a cloud platform, an attribute template is stored for one or more target services based on one or more system data. One or more request metrics for each target service is stored, wherein the request metrics are based on an analysis of one or more incoming requests of one or more service call chains. Responsive to receiving a request for a target service in a service call chain, the target service is scaled based on the attribute template of the target service and the request metrics of the target service.
