For retail organizations, peak traffic can be a mixed blessing. While high-volume traffic often boosts sales, it can also compromise uptimes. Traditionally, teams achieve this high level of uptime using a combination of high-capacity hardware, system redundancy, and failover models.

The idea CFS operates by very frequently (every few microseconds) applying a set of heuristics which encapsulate a general concept of best practices around CPU hardware use. We’re using cvxpy as a nice generic symbolic front-end to represent the problem which can then be fed into various open-source or proprietary MIP solver backends.

Defining high availability In general terms, high availability refers to the continuous operation of a system with little to no interruption to end users in the event of hardware or software failures, power outages, or other disruptions. Load balancers can detect when a component is not responding and put traffic redirection in motion.
