Scaling is a Design Issue, Not Just a Setting
Autoscaling doesn't resolve design flaws. Scalability must be addressed during the design phase.

The issue lies in the design, as horizontal scaling can exacerbate coordination problems among instances. Identifying where the state lives and which requests contend for it is crucial before choosing a framework.
