Techniques for predictively scaling a distributed application are described. Embodiments could monitor performance of an application within a cloud computing environment over a first window of time to collect historical performance data. Here, the application comprises a plurality of application instances. A workload of the application could be monitored over a second window of time to collect historical workload data. Embodiments could analyze both the historical performance data and the historical workload data to determine one or more scaling patterns for the application. Upon determining a present state of the application matches one of the one or more scaling patterns, a plan for predictively scaling the application could be determined. Embodiments could then predictively scale the plurality of application instances, based on the determined plan.

The disclosure describes a proxy server application that supports the dynamic modification of proxy rules implemented by a proxy server. The proxy rules implemented by the proxy server specify network behaviors to be performed at various points during the handling of requests from client applications. A proxy server implements the proxy rules by processing one or more user-generated network traffic filters for managing network traffic. In an embodiment, users generate network traffic filters by creating network traffic filter source code that specify processing steps to be performed by a proxy server relative to network messages the proxy server receives. In an embodiment, user-generated network traffic filters may be added, removed, reordered, or otherwise modified in a proxy server application at runtime in order to respond to current network conditions or to achieve other desired proxy configurations.

A technique for providing an API from a server to one of more endpoint devices including receiving a request for data from a endpoint device, retrieving one or more data resources from the data resources available within the server, based upon the request, manipulating the data within the retrieved data resources into a response optimized for the endpoint device, and transmitting the response to the endpoint device.
