# Task Statement 3.2: Design High-Performing and Elastic Compute Solutions

### **📌 Task Statement 3.2: Design High-Performing and Elastic Compute Solutions**

This study group focuses on **designing scalable, high-performing, and elastic compute architectures** that **dynamically adjust to workload demands** while maintaining cost efficiency.

We will follow **SecureCart**, an e-commerce platform, as they **optimize their compute workloads**, transition to **event-driven compute solutions**, and explore **containerized and serverless architectures**.
