Scaling microservices for holiday peak traffic is crucial to prevent downtime and ensure a seamless user experience. This guide explores Azure DevOps automation, CI/CD pipelines, and cost-optimization strategies to handle high-demand traffic seamlessly.

Multiple teams juggling these components risk costly delays and errors at the worst possible moments. This is where automation comes in: a game-changing solution that transforms complex, error-prone processes into streamlined, efficient operations.
