Hybrid Processing
Processing functionality that experiences varying workload is hosted in an elastic cloud while the remainder of an application resides in a static environment.

How can Processing Components that experiences varying workload be hosted in an elastic cloud while the remainder of an application is hosted in a static data center? |
Context
A Distributed Application provides processing functionality that experience different workload behavior. The user group accessing the application is, thus, predictable in size, but accesses the functions provided by the application differently. While most of the functions are used equally over time and, therefore, experience Static Workload, some Processing Components experience Periodic Workload, Unpredictable Workload, or Continuously Changing Workload.
Solution
The Processing Components experiencing varying workloads are provisioned in an elastic cloud. Loose Coupling is ensured by exchanging information between the hosting environments asynchronously via messages.
