Why each option
As consumer-facing services migrated to the cloud experience increased customer demand, the most effective action to meet these increased resource needs is to deploy additional load balancers. This distributes incoming traffic efficiently across backend resources.
Increasing network bandwidth provides more data transfer capacity but does not inherently solve the problem of distributing increased application-level requests effectively across backend servers if load balancing remains a bottleneck.
Increased customer load means a higher volume of incoming requests. Deploying additional load balancers enhances the system's capacity to distribute this traffic across multiple backend servers or services, ensuring efficient resource utilization, improving responsiveness, and maintaining high availability for the consumer-facing services.
Deploying additional web servers increases backend processing power, but without adequate load balancing, these new servers may not receive optimal traffic, and the existing load balancer could become a single point of congestion.
Deploying a local database within the company's datacenter for cloud services would introduce latency, reduce scalability, and counteract the benefits of cloud deployment for a consumer-facing application.
