Explanation

Scheduled scaling is the best approach because the performance issue occurs on a known, predictable schedule - the beginning of every month. With scheduled scaling, additional compute or storage resources are automatically provisioned before the monthly upload begins and then scaled back down afterward. This prevents the slowdown proactively. Load-based scaling reacts to real-time metrics (like CPU or memory), meaning users already experience degradation before scaling kicks in. Event-driven scaling responds to specific application events, and managed scaling is a generic term for cloud-provider-automated scaling. Since the timing is entirely predictable, scheduled scaling is the optimal and most efficient choice.
