How did the transition to a containerized solution improve the client's application performance and scalability?
assistant
The client's legacy application on Azure VMs faced scalability issues during peak trading hours and inconsistent performance due to manual configuration drift. By transitioning to a containerized architecture using Docker and AKS, John Mosquera enabled better resource utilization and modularity. The implementation of horizontal pod autoscalers (HPA) allowed the platform to handle traffic spikes efficiently, doubling its previous load capacity without performance degradation.
