Metrics For Horizontal Scaling

[AustinMalpede]

Hello Daniel,

We're using distributed locking and queueing capabilities of workflowcore, specifically the redis provider. Our intention has been to create a highly scalable distributed service which horizontally scales up as the number of workflows increase. Each workflow is very lightweight and spends about 95% of its time asynchronously awaiting network calls. Here are my questions:

Metrics for Horizontal Scaling

• We are consuming the Redis distributed lock and queueing provider. Would the number of items in either of these collections be good indicators to horizontally scale up?
• On rare occasions dangling items are left in Redis by workflow. I cannot confirm yet but I suspect they are redlock items. Dangling items in Redis could interfere with scaling, do you have any recommendations regarding this?
