If you are a tech startup like us this could be this cloud infrastructure that should be ready to scale with your operations. If you are well backed it is a matter of defining the infrastructure and uploading it in cloud services like azure, Amazon aws or google cloud given that you have enough money to pay the bill or that you are sure that this could play itself. Knowing you growth capacity requirements is crucial and can be studied and known way before starting the engine of growth. We tech driven companies can even use data to emulate this growth.

Patterns don’t change a lot and show up periodically that’s why they are called patterns.
