# Scalable Services

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/scalable-services/  
**APIs profiled:** 14

A curated topic collection covering APIs, patterns, tools, and best practices for designing and operating scalable services. This includes cloud-native microservices, API gateways, load balancers, container orchestration, serverless platforms, service meshes, and the architectural patterns that enable services to scale horizontally and vertically. Relevant to platform engineers, cloud architects, and backend developers building high-traffic, distributed systems.
