This subject can hardly be discussed in a comprehensive way on a board like this. It also depends on what tools you have available to you - some cloud tools make this easier than building your own.<p>There&#x27;s a great book that covers this in great detail - Feedback Control for Computer Systems: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.oreilly.com&#x2F;library&#x2F;view&#x2F;feedback-control-for&#x2F;9781449362638&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.oreilly.com&#x2F;library&#x2F;view&#x2F;feedback-control-for&#x2F;97...</a>. I&#x27;ve implemented many of the tactics here with great success.
