Fiorano API management architecture scales linearly, allowing the infrastructure to grow on an as-needed basis. The classification of gateway servers into Server Groups allows scaling for a natural scaling process.
The project deployment is linked to server groups rather than the physical servers, which facilitates flexible deployment patterns.
Scaling
Configuring a Server Group with a Single Server
Perhaps the The simplest form of configuring a Server Group is to map only a single physical gateway server. Create a Server Group with the name 'GatewayServer' by following the steps mentioned in the Creating a Server Group for Project Deployment section. Similarly, add another server group with the name 'GatewayServer1'. In this example, apigateway and apigateway1 are added for to GatewayServer and GatewayServer1 respectively.
| Tip |
|---|
Server Groups - such as Production and Development exist by default with servers apigateway1 and apigateway allotted to them respectively. These servers can be used by using editclicking the Edit button ,and then moving moved between Servers and Availabe Servers sections using the Left and Right arrow buttons. |
There is no distinction between the server group and the server in this case. So Therefore, the IP of the server can be directly made available to the clients.
...
As and when the load on the Servers increase, there are multiple ways to cope with the increased traffic which typically would involve involves increasing the system resources allocated to the server like such as memory and CPU power. These processes generally incur some downtime for of services. The However, this concept of Server Groups provides a way to scale in such scenarios without any downtime.
...
To scale with increased traffic without any downtime, a new server instance can be started. Then, Ffrom the dashboard, add the server to the Server Group on which the increased activity is observed.

| All the projects that are deployed in the server group get automatically deployed on the new server that is added without any manual intervention. |
