This article is nice as a bare-basic intro to scaling for simple web-server applications.
For more sophisticated operations, i wouldn’t dare not to talk about message queues for message queues and architecture that separates the web/api gateway from the other services, using a db which is scalable by itself, using a distributed cache…

Nice overview.
You might want to look at the framework I’m building.
It’s a typescript framework, which allows developers to build the business logic isolated, to have the flexibility to decide nearly at any point how you want to deploy it.
You can run your application in a monolithic way, in a microservice style, or in Lambda style. Or you can mix it up - depending on your needs.
It also allows the usage of cool stuff like temporal to orchestrate your logic.
Also, it comes with build in OpenTelemetry support, OpenApi generation, input/output validation, logging &amp; error handling, and a tiny CLI tool.
