# Elasticity

Record: `arch:elasticity`
Kind: quality-attribute
Layer: [Performance Core](https://banes-lab.com/records/layer/performance-core.md)
Severity: contextual
Scope: deployment, infrastructure
Canonical: https://banes-lab.com/ontology#arch-elasticity

## Repair

- Refactored by: Add Scaling Policy, Remove Stateful Constraint
- Detected by: under/over-provisioning patterns
- Violated by: capacity not adapting to demand
- Measured by: scale response time, utilization
- Enforced by: infrastructure policy

## requires
