Mechanisms for ensuring high performance of educational platforms during peak seasonal loads

The study delves into the problem of a sharp load increase on educational platforms during peak periods of activity, such as exams and the beginning of the school year, which leads to service disruptions. The study analyzes the main causes of performance degradation and proposes mechanisms for maintaining stable system operation: resource reservation, automatic cloud-based scaling, three-level caching and optimization of data storage and processing strategies. Special attention is paid to the possibilities of implementing the described mechanisms into the architecture of existing systems. The implementation of the proposed solution will eliminate problem areas and increase the reliability and performance of the educational platform while using resources economically.
